Abstract Objective: Hypertension is defined as a persistent systolic blood pressure reading of 140 mm Hg or greater and/or a diastolic blood pressure reading of 90 mm Hg or greater. Poor adherence to anti-hypertensive therapy is one of the biggest obstacles in therapeutic control of high blood pressure and usually associated with bad outcome of the disease and wastage of limited health care resources. The study was aimed to assess the patient compliance and associated factors of anti-hypertensive treatments Result: The study showed that the overall level of compliance was 106(83.46%) and non-compliance level was 21(16.54%). Among 127 respondents 52 (40.95%) were males and 75 (59.05%) were females. Majority of respondents 113(88.98%) were taking treatments as prescribed and 106(83.36%) had regular follow up. In this study 45 patients never forget to take their medication and 82(64 57%) respondents were stopped their medication due to different reason from this, 64(34.8%) were due to improvement from illness and 37(20.1%) due to lack of money.
