AB KEY  POINTSBlood  pressure  goals  should  be  individualized,  especially  for  older  persons  who  may  have  difficulty  tolerating  complicated  pharmacotherapy  regimens.The  medication  therapy  management  (MTM)  provider  should  review  the  medication  profile  to  screen  for  other  medications  that  may  be  contributing  to  hypertension.Because  blood  pressure  medications  may  make  patients  feel  worse  than  the  disorder  of  hypertension  itself,  nonadherence  is  a  likely  problem.  MTM  providers  need  to  be  vigilant  for  nonadherence  to  medications  and  recommend  changes  in  pharmacotherapy,  if  needed,  to  promote  adherence.Regular  follow-up  and  monitoring  are  key  to  helping  patients  achieve  blood  pressure  goals  and  reduce  the  risk  of  end-organ  damage.
