The patients with CNCD are particularly exposed to problems related to the use of medications due to polypharmacy and prolonged treatments for disease control and improvement of quality of life. This research aimed to evaluate the use, storage and disposal of medicines of patients with chronic non-communicable diseases, registered by the FHS of five Minas Gerais towns. This is a descriptive, crosssectional study with a quantitative approach. Data were collected through home interviews, using the droidSURVEY application, made available on tablets and smartphone mobile devices for data storage. For the statistical analysis the software R, version 3.3.0, was used. The home interviews were performed with 512 individuals with CNCD registered by the FHS e who used medication to treat those diseases, from March to July 2016. The survey data were characterized by a predominance of women (64%), married (53%), aged between 60 and 69 years (30%), education lower than seven years of study (80%), in addition to having income between 1 and 3 minimum wages (84.6%), effective in 2016. The CNCD declared by the participants were 81.4% of diseases of the circulatory system, 46.6% of endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases, and 27.7% of mental and behavioral disorders. As for the comorbidity, we verified the presence in 54.2% of patients with CNCD. The proper way of using the medicines was classified in 77% of the participants and in 23%, situations were identified in which the way of using the medicines was inadequate due to dose disagreement (42.7%) and discontinuation of treatment (57,3%). As for medicine storage location, the bedroom was the predominant place (58.7%). Most (90.7%) places were rated safe and suitable. Regarding the disposal place of unused medicine, the environment (92.2%) was the main location cited. The proper destination of medicines was found in only 7.23%. The high frequency of individuals who adequately carry out the treatment and storage of medicines makes it possible to suggest that this result is the result of FHSs partnership with the chronic patient and the family, putting into practice the concept of the therapeutic alliance. Regarding the proper destination of the medicines, it would be up to managers in partnership with the population to develop policies for clarification and incentives, in order to reduce possible and foreseeable public health problems.
