Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that poses a public health challenge due to its rising prevalence and the requirement for long-term treatment. The success of antihypertensive therapy is heavily influenced by patient adherence to regular medication intake. This study aimed to determine the profile of antihypertensive medication adherence among hypertensive patients at Kimia Farma Pharmacy 243 Arjuno Surabaya. An observational descriptive method with a cross-sectional approach was employed. A total population sampling technique was used, resulting in a sample of 70 respondents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
