Objective: to analyze the prevalence of adherence to drug treatment among hypertensive caregivers of elderly people, its relationship with health literacy, demographic variables, and the caregivers' work and analytical variables. Method: a cross-sectional study with 68 caregivers of elderly hypertensive patients. Medication adherence and health literacy were assessed using the following scales: Morisky's Therapeutic Adherence and Health Literacy Scale. Results: The sample studied had low health literacy (34 points), and 36.8% showed low adherence to drug treatment. The greater the number of hours dedicated to care per day (p=0.0027) and the more overburdened the caregiver felt (p=0.0307) were associated with low adherence to drug treatment. Conclusion: This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the prevalence of adherence to drug treatment among hypertensive caregivers of elderly people and its relationship with health literacy, demographic, and work variables.
