Non-Adherence To Medication: In some cases, individuals may not consistently take their prescribed medications as directed. Missing doses or not taking medications at the correct time can result in inadequate blood pressure control.
Inadequate Medication Dosage: Sometimes, the prescribed dosage of the medication may not be sufficient to effectively lower blood pressure. Adjustments in dosage or the addition of additional medications may be necessary to achieve the desired BP target.
