Resumo: Objective: To analyze access to drugs and factors associated with their use by hypertensive users in Primary Health Care. Methods: Observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study, using a validated questionnaire as a tool for collecting access to drugs and the factors that influence their use. The variables used were: sex, age, education, length of treatment, and quantity of antihypertensive drugs used. The use of drugs by 250 hypertensive patients, over 18 years of age, monitored by the Family Health Support Center in Manhuaçu, Minas Gerais, Brazil, were evaluated. Data collection took place in April and May 2018. The STATA program, version 15.1, was used for statistical analysis. The variables were presented in absolute and relative frequency, and the chi-square test was performed. Results: A statistical association was identified between the time of treatment and age (p=0.006), between the use of drugs on the previous day and age (p=0.030), and between forgetting the drug while traveling and sex (p=0.007). Regarding rational habits, 91.2% (n=228) of the patients did not stop taking their drugs, even though they felt the pressure was under control. 84.4% (n=211) of the participants did not feel uncomfortable for following the treatment correctly and 80.8% (n=202) did not neglect adherence to pharmacological treatment. Conclusion: Users have access to drugs and make rational use of it, following the treatment properly, with good habits. The number of drugs used did not influence the continuity of treatment and the level of education did not show a statistical association in the use of antihypertensive drugs.

Respecto los hábitos racionales, el 91,2% (n=228) de los pacientes no pararon de tomar la medicación aunque sentían la tensión controlada.
