Implication

Cross-sectional study finds low awareness of adverse drug reactions in rural patients with diabetes and hypertension, highlighting medication knowledge gaps.

Key Points

Only 42.3% of patients demonstrated good medication knowledge, indicating significant knowledge gaps among rural patients.
While 91.5% were aware of medication frequency, only 13.9% understood adverse drug reactions, revealing a critical area for improvement.
This cross-sectional study involved 201 rural patients with type-2 diabetes and/or hypertension using a pre-validated questionnaire for assessment.
Patients with multiple medications face additional challenges, necessitating enhanced education about adverse drug reactions for safer medication use.
