Introduction: Oral preventive medication for migraine (OPMM) has been shown to be effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of symptoms; however, studies show that there is low adherence to it. Among the possible associated factors, patient’s beliefs about medications are considered. Studies linking beliefs about medications with adherence in other diseases are vast, but those related to the OPMM are scarce. Objectives: Underline the association between beliefs about medications and adherence to the OPMM, considering other factors that could be related to this behavior. Materials and methods: Analytical cross-sectional study of a primary database of subjects belonging to virtual communities of migraineurs. For the measurement of adherence, the MARS-5 questionnaire was applied and the BMQ-specific for beliefs. Results: The sample consisted of 102 participants, of which 48.04% reported adherence. Regarding beliefs about medications, 46.08% of the participants perceived more needs than concerns when using the medication and most of the participants had an ambivalent attitude about treatment. The study found that age, the perceived convenience of the medication, and concomitant use of other drugs for conditions other than migraine significantly increase the likelihood that patients are adherent to the medication. Conclusion: Age, perceived convenience of the drug and current use of other medication are significantly associated with adherence to the OPMM. No association was found between beliefs about medications and adherence to the OPMM.
