Abstract: Telepharmacy is a pharmaceutical care provision through a remote interaction between patients and pharmacists that provides patient counseling on medication management and adherence, especially on chronic diseases such as hypertension. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of telepharmacy intervention on hypertensive patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research employed a quantitative, quasiexperimental design utilizing a purposive sampling technique to assess the effectiveness of telepharmacy intervention on their blood pressure and medication adherence. Thirty (30) participants were examined and subjected to the study using Wilcoxon signed-rank t-test and Student’s t-test to compare and analyze the parameters before and after the interventions.
