Abstract: Objective: to assess the prevalence of pharmacological adherence in patients with coronary artery disease and to identify factors associated with adherence.

“…Nonadherence involves the failure of a patient to take medications appropriately due to personal factors [23]. Several studies have indicated that roughly 20% and more than 50% of CAD patients are non-adherent to prescribed medications [48][49][50]. Many factors can affect patient adherence to treatment: lack of motivation, failure to understand instructions, forgetfulness, the complexity of the regimen, polypharmacy, multiple daily doses, adverse side effects, high cost, failure to initiate treatment before discharge, and the physician's lack of knowledge of clinical indicators for the use of medications [51,52].…”

This underuse of medication, coupled with the common misperception among patients about correct medication usage [ 36 ], suggests that the actual burden of HTN may be greater than reported.…”

“…(25) No tópico "medicamentos utilizados", sugeriu--se adicionar alguns efeitos adversos relacionados às medicações utilizadas nessa população, principalmente a tontura e a sonolência, e orientações sobre como proceder na presença desses sintomas. Essa informação é de extrema relevância, já que um dos motivos de não adesão ao tratamento farmacológico é a presença de efeitos adversos relacionados aos medicamentos, (29) e o indivíduo ao conhecer como proceder a esses possíveis efeitos colaterais mantém o seu tratamento. (26) No que se refere à "atividade sexual", sugeriu--se adicionar outros medicamentos utilizados para o controle da impotência sexual, além do Sildenafil, como contraindicações aos pacientes que fazem uso de nitratos.…”
