Impact of Clinical Pharmacist-Led Intervention on Management of Diabetic Hypertensive Patients in Eastern Nepal

Non Pharmacological management strategies include information related to life style modification, healthy dietary habits, physical activity and stress management techniques. In contrast, pharmacological educational intervention involves disease -related information ( diabetes/hypertension sign and symptoms, risk factor, complications, self-monitoring of blood pressure/glucose, symptoms and management of hypoglycemia/hypotension etc. ) and drug related information ( prescribed drug name, indication, contraindication, adverse effects etc.) as well as importance of adherence to prescribed medication and strategies to minimize DRPs issues. These teaching sessions will be carried out with the help of verbal communication, audio visual demonstration (including charts,pictorial etc) and information leaflets. Furthermore, a copy of educational package would be given to each participant for reference and guidance.
