Medikamentetterlevelse og monitorering av antihypertensiv behandling
Sammanfattning
Lack of adherence to medication may be the explanation for unsatisfactory drug efficacy and is often misinterpreted as
resistance to treatment. When encountering patients with persistent high blood pressure despite antihypertensive treatment,
it is therefore important to discover whether they are actually taking their medication. This article aims to provide an updated
overview of methods of revealing and monitoring medication adherence. The article is based on non-systematic literature
searches in PubMed and on the senior authors’ own clinical experience.
