What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a telepharmacy protocol in managing uncontrolled hypertension among elderly patients compared to traditional in-person pharmaceutical care. Participants will undergo four visits, including assessments of clinical parameters and medication adherence, conducted by trained pharmacists. The study will also assess patient satisfaction and the socio-demographic profile of the participants. By comparing teleconsultation with in-person care, the trial seeks to determine the best approach for improving health outcomes in this population.
