Introduction: Few studies have investigated the nature and prevalence of drug therapy problems (DTPs) in women's health settings, which may compromise safe care for these patients. Objective: This study was to identify risk factors and clinical outcomes for the development of drug therapy problems in the puerperium of patients with gestational hypertension. Methods: A case-control study and a prospective cohort was performed with puerperae diagnosed with gestational hypertension in two Brazilian maternity schools between june and november 2016. Patients with at least one DTP were allocated as case, whereas patients without DTPs were allocated as control. Results: 600 women were included in the study: 354 in the case group, 246 in the control group. The main risk factors for DTPs were increased number of drugs during hospitalization (p = 0.000), lower gestational age at delivery (p = 0.032) and the first gestation (p = 0.016). Of the 354 (59%) patients who had at least one DTP, 244 (68.9%) had one DTP, 98 (27.7%) had two DTPs. The main types of DTPs were: (1) non-administration of the prescribed drug, (2) nonprescription of a drug despite clear indication and (3) failure of therapy (ineffectiveness). The drugs most associated with DTPs were methyldopa 83 (17.2%), ferrous sulfate 318 (66.5%), dipyrone 24 (5%). In addition to methyldopa, other antihypertensive drugs, such as nifedipine, captopril, losartan, were also involved in DTPs, but in less than 5% of patients. In patients exposed to DTPs, the length of hospital stay was 5.45 (SD 3.60) days versus 4.48 (SD 3.32) days in patients not exposed to DTPs (p = 0.001). The time (in days) to achieve BP control was 4.49 (3.58) and 3.47 (3.26), respectively (p = 0.000). There were no deaths. Conclusion: Drug therapy related problems are common events during the postpartum period of patients with gestational hypertension. The three risk factors identified in this study should be considered in the future in the risk analysis of hospitalized puerperae, and suggest levels of alertness for the management of pharmacotherapy in this group of patients. The presence of these events significantly increases the postpartum period of permanence and the time to normalize blood pressure.
