Abstract
 Introduction: Medication non-adherence is a major hindrance
in the treatment of hypertension in Sub Saharan Africa. It is a
major modifi able contributor to poor blood pressure control
and complications of the disorder. An understanding of the
factors that are associated with drug adherence in
hypertension will contribute positively to the overall planning
of public health educational programs on hypertension.
Methods: This study was cross sectional and descriptive in
nature conducted in the medical outpatient clinic of Enugu
State University Teaching Hospital, Enugu Nigeria. Data
collection was done using a semi-structured questionnaire.
The Morinsky-Green Medication adherence scale was used to
estimate medication adherence. Statistical analyses was done
using SPSS version 22 (IBM Corporation, New York, USA).
