Resumo: Health conditions in human populations worldwide have improved with the consequent increase in the number of elderly people. Coupled to chronological age, numberless pathologies appear and cause the age-group to have the highest rate in medicine intake. Polypharmacy is defined as the concomitant use of two or more medicines or the unnecessary use of at least one medicine. Polypharmacy makes the elderly vulnerable to contrary effects and to medicine interaction, which increase when inadequate drugs are used. Risks from the inadequate use of medicine are highest during this phase of life. Health professional, including the chemist, should have special care with regard to polypharmacy and to the prescription of potentially inappropriate medicines so that a better life for the elderly could be achieved. Pharmacists are the health professionals that are aware of all the aspects implied in a drug and therefore may give important information to people with a guarantee for successful therapy and lower risks. Current analysis undertakes a bibliographical survey on polypharmacy in the elderly using books, journals and scientific literature site on the theme.

Juntamente com o avanço da idade cronológica, surgem inúmeras patologias, o que faz deste grupo populacional os maiores usuários de medicamentos. Polifarmácia é definida como o uso concomitante de dois ou mais medicamentos ou o uso desnecessário de pelo menos um medicamento. A polifarmácia os torna vulneráveis aos efeitos adversos e às interações medicamentosas, o que aumenta quando se utilizam fármacos inadequados. De fato, os riscos pertinentes à utilização inadequada de medicamentos são maiores nesta fase da vida. Neste cenário, profissionais de saúde, incluindo o farmacêutico, devem dar atenção especial à polifarmácia e à prescrição de medicamentos potencialmente inapropriados, para que se alcance, de maneira concreta, uma melhor qualidade de vida do idoso. É sabido que farmacêutico é o único profissional formado pela sociedade, que possui conhecimento de todos os aspectos de um fármaco e, portanto, ele pode dar uma informação privilegiada às pessoas, garantindo, assim, uma terapia de sucesso, com menos riscos. Nesse sentido, este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar um levantamento bibliográfico sobre a polifarmácia em idosos, através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica utilizando como fontes de estudo livros, revistas, periódicos e sites de literatura científica referentes ao assunto proposto.Universidade Cesumar - UniCesumar2013-07-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRevisão de Literaturaapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/2862Saúde e Pesquisa; Vol 6 No 3 (2013): set./dez.Saúde e Pesquisa; v. 6 n. 3 (2013): set./dez.2176-9206reponame:Saúde e Pesquisa (Online)instname:Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisainstacron:CESUMARporhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/2862/2160da Silva, Elaine AparecidaMacedo, Luciana Conciinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-09-04T12:43:33Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/2862Revistahttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesqPUBhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/oainaep@cesumar.br2176-92061983-1870opendoar:2020-09-04T12:43:33Saúde e Pesquisa (Online) - Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisafalse
