Resumo: | Introduction: Benzodiazepines are the most used psychotropic drugs globally and have pharmacological properties that provide sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant action. The effectiveness of benzodiazepines is well documented in short-term treatments, but long-term use is contraindicated due to the risk of adverse effects, including dependence. Purpose: to demonstrate the long-term effect of benzodiazepine use by the elderly. Methodology: A bibliographic and webliographic review was carried out from July 2020 to August 2021, using the Scientific Electronic Library Online – SciELO, US National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health (PubMed), Library databases. Virtual Health (BVS) and Google Scholar. It was also used the consultation of books and periodicals present in the Library of the University Center of Patos de Minas. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, an analysis of 22 publications was performed. Results and Discussion: The study of selected bibliographies showed that the use of benzodiazepines among the elderly has a high prevalence. In addition, this class of drugs is not recommended for use by the oldest old, aggravating its consequences even more when the treatment is carried out in the long term, exacerbating a series of adverse events without being effective in this form of use. Conclusion: it is important to look for less harmful ways to remedy complaints about sleep and anxiety in the oldest old and also to train health professionals in order to identify medications not recommended for the elderly and propose ways to optimize prescriptions. |

La eficacia de las benzodiazepinas está bien documentada en tratamientos a corto plazo, pero el uso a largo plazo está contraindicado debido al riesgo de efectos adversos, incluida la dependencia. Objetivo: demostrar el efecto a largo plazo del uso de benzodiazepinas en personas de edad avanzada. Metodología: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica y webliográfica de julio de 2020 a agosto de 2021, utilizando la Scientific Electronic Library Online - SciELO, la Biblioteca Nacional de Medicina de EE. UU., Los Institutos Nacionales de Salud (PubMed), las bases de datos de la Biblioteca. Virtual Health (BVS) y Google. Erudito. También se aprovechó la consulta de libros y publicaciones periódicas presentes en la Biblioteca del Centro Universitario de Patos de Minas. Tras aplicar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, se realizó un análisis de 22 publicaciones. Resultados y Discusión: El estudio de bibliografías seleccionadas mostró que el uso de benzodiazepinas entre los ancianos tiene una alta prevalencia. Además, esta clase de fármacos no es recomendable para su uso por los ancianos, agravando aún más sus consecuencias cuando el tratamiento se lleva a cabo a largo plazo, exacerbando una serie de eventos adversos sin ser efectivos en este formato de uso. Conclusión: es importante buscar formas menos dañinas de remediar las quejas sobre el sueño y la ansiedad en los ancianos y también capacitar a los profesionales de la salud para identificar los medicamentos no recomendados para los ancianos y proponer formas de optimizar las prescripciones.Introdução: Os benzodiazepínicos são os psicofármacos mais utilizados globalmente e possuem propriedades farmacológicas que propiciam ação sedativa, hipnótica, ansiolítica, anticonvulsivante e relaxante muscular. A eficácia dos benzodiazepínicos é bem documentada nos tratamentos de curta duração, porém o uso prolongado é contraindicado devido aos riscos de efeitos adversos, incluindo a dependência.Objetivo: evidenciar o efeito a longo prazo do uso de benzodiazepínicos por idosos. Metodologia: Foi feita uma revisão bibliográfica e webliográfica, realizada no período de julho de 2020 a agosto de 2021, onde foram utilizadas as bases de dados Scientific Electronic Library Online – SciELO, US National Library of Medicine Nacional Institutes of Health (PubMed), Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e Google Acadêmico.

Após aplicados os critérios de inclusão e de exclusão foi realizada análise de 22 publicações. Resultados e Discussão: O estudo das bibliografias selecionadas mostrou que o uso de benzodiazepínicos entre idosos tem alta prevalência. Além disso, essa classe de medicamentos não é recomendada para uso por longevos, agravando suas consequências ainda mais quando o tratamento é realizado a longo prazo, exacerbando uma série de eventos adversos sem apresentar eficácia nesse formato de uso. Conclusão: é importante buscar formas menos prejudiciais para sanar as queixas em relação a sono e ansiedade em longevos e também capacitar os profissionais de saúde, a fim de identificar medicamentos com uso não recomendado para idosos e propor formas de otimizar as prescrições.
