Few studies address the pattern and adherence to the standard treatment guidelines in India. This study aimed to review the prescribing pattern of antihypertensive medications in a rural tertiary care teaching Indian hospital and to investigate the adherence to the Joint National Commission-8 (JNC-8) guidelines on prevention, detection, evaluation, and treatment of hypertension in adults.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_jbcpp-2019-0133_s_998_w2aab3b7c76b1b6b1aab1c14b2Aa\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A prospective observational study was conducted among the participants from four different inpatient wards who are aged &gt;18 years, without gender restriction.

As per JNC-8 guidelines, 4.95%, 17.82%, 44.55%, and 32.67% of patients were classified as normal, pre-hypertensive, stage I, and stage II, respectively. Most of them (31.68%) were free from comorbidities. The most (23.76%) prescribed drug was calcium channel blocker (CCB), and 15.84% of the patients received combination therapy. Treatment was effective in 70.30% of the patients through analyzing their blood pressure even though the adherence to the JNC-8 guidelines was only in 54.46%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_jbcpp-2019-0133_s_996_w2aab3b7c76b1b6b1aab1c14b4Aa\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our study revealed that CCB was the most prescribed drug, and in spite of the only 50% adherence rate, treatment was effective in the majority of the population.
