Answers to scores assigned subsequently classified as insufficient knowledge, regular and adequate knowledge knowledge after cutoff. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee, CAAE nº30622114.2.0000.5192. Results: Only 39% of subjects had adequate knowledge about treatment. There was statistical significance in pools of knowledge with sex (p = 0.042), age (p = 0.015), years of education (p = 0.021) and average time of outpatient follow-up (p = 0.010). Conclusion: The prevalence of inadequate knowledge (61%) demonstrate the need to implement educational strategies that promote the understanding of the treatment, stimulating drug adherence and reducing possible complications
