Objective: The study was conducted to analyze the dose of drug administration in conditions complicated by kidney failure in hypertensive patients. Methods: The study went through a sampling stage of data from hypertensive patients complicated by kidney failure, data according to inclusion criteria, calculation of creatinine clearance, analysis of dose adjustments and creatinine clearance. Results: The study obtained 170 data, which met the inclusion criteria of 30 data. Drugs with a narrow therapeutic index and worsening kidney function that patients received included: digoxin, captopril, ranitidine, furosemide, ciprofloxacin, and cefriaxone in 2, 13, 9, 12, 3, and 8 cases respectively. Conclusion: According to dose adjustment calculations for patient creatinine clearance, it was found that the drug exceeded the individual dose in 6 out of 9; 8 of 13; and 2 cases each using ranitidine, captopril, digoxin
