AB Blood  pressure  goals  should  be  individualized,  especially  for  older  people  who  may  have  difficulty  tolerating  complicated  pharmacotherapy  regimens.The  MTM  provider  should  review  the  medication  profile  to  screen  for  other  medications  (eg,  NSAIDs)  that  may  be  contributing  to  high  blood  pressure.Because  blood  pressure  medications  may  make  patients  feel  worse  than  hypertension  itself,  nonadherence  is  a  common  problem.  MTM  providers  should  be  vigilant  for  nonadherence  to  medications  and,  if  needed,  recommend  changes  in  pharmacotherapy  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.
