Hypertension is a silent disease; the majority of cases (61%) in the country remain undiagnosed. Blood pressure should be measured at every chance encounter. Hypertension is defined as persistent elevation of systolic BP of 140mmHg or greater and/or diastolic BP of 90 mmHg or greater. Untreated or sub-optimally controlled hypertension leads to increased cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and renal morbidity and mortality.

It is important to monitor your blood pressure daily to control your BP. Blood Pressure Monitoring & Management services are available at all of Multicare Pharmacy branches. We provide patient care services such as encouraging lifestyle modifications and selfmanagement, counselling people who are not adhering to prescribed drug treatments, helping patients take their medications correctly, and screening for uncontrolled and undiagnosed high blood pressure.
