Randomized controlled trial shows telepharmacy improves medication knowledge and adherence in ischemic stroke patients, indicating a beneficial intervention.

Key Points

To evaluate the impact of pharmacist-led telepharmacy on medication knowledge, adherence, and clinical outcomes in post-ischemic stroke patients.
Conducted a randomized controlled trial with 126 hospitalized adults post-ischemic stroke.
Participants were assigned to standard care or standard care plus telepharmacy follow-ups.
Assessed outcomes with validated questionnaires and medication adherence scales.
Telepharmacy significantly improved knowledge scores compared to controls (11.75 vs 9.79; P < .001).
Medication adherence scores increased in the telepharmacy group (37.00 vs 33.26; P < .001).
Better blood pressure control was observed in the telepharmacy group with 52.4% achieving target versus 30.2% in controls (P = .011).
Identified 76 medication-related problems (MRPs) in the telepharmacy group, with a significant resolution rate.
