The Importance of Cardiovascular Wellness
Heart disease is one of the leading causes of health complications globally, but the good news is that much of it is preventable. Taking a proactive approach to your heart health involves understanding key risk factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and family history.
At Marklandwood Pharmacy, our goal is to partner with you and your primary care physician to ensure that your treatment plan is optimized. Whether you have just been diagnosed with hypertension or have been managing high cholesterol for years, adherence to your medication regimen is critical.
Did You Know?
Missing just a few doses of blood pressure medication can cause dangerous fluctuations. Setting daily alarms or using compliance blister packaging can drastically improve adherence.
