Does fixed-dose combination (FDC) therapy improve adherence and doctor-patient cooperation in patients with hypertension compared to free-equivalent combinations (FECs)?
Fixed-dose combination therapy significantly improves patient adherence and doctor-patient cooperation in hypertension management compared to taking the medications separately.
In comparison with FECs, the FDC treatment is associated with a significant improvement in the cooperation between a doctor and a patient and with increased patients' adherence to the treatment schedule.
