Abstract

Objective: to develop an illustrative prescription model to facilitate the management of polypharmacy in elderly patients with CAD. Methods: this is the methodological study was based on Kaplún's theory and was developed in three main phases: 1) Structuring of drug topics according to the Guidelines of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology; 2) Preparation and selection of visual elements; 3) Development of an illustrative revenue model. Results: the resulting illustrative recipe categorized the medications into twelve groups, with subdivisions represented by images that explain in a simplified way the mechanism of action of each medication. Furthermore, vector images were incorporated to indicate medication administration times using a visual language adapted to the target audience. Conclusion: the results allowed the creation of an illustrative recipe model that promises to facilitate the management of polypharmacy by the elderly population, helping with understanding and adherence to drug treatment. The visual and playful approach is an innovative strategy to face the challenges of polypharmacy in elderly people with CAD, contributing to more effective and safe management.
