O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o perfil e adequação dos medicamentos prescritos para pacientes idosos internados tendo como base os Critérios de Beers, Critérios Canadenses e indicadores suecos de qualidade da farmacoterapia em idosos. Do total de 50 pacientes idosos admitidos no estudo, 42% eram homens e 58% eram mulheres. Metade dos idosos se encontravam na faixa etária dos 60 a 69 anos. Considerando-se os Critérios de Beers e Canadenses, 84% dos pacientes tiveram prescrições de medicamentos a serem evitados. Foram contabilizados 17 medicamentos com potencial de inadequação em idosos e o mais freqüentemente prescrito foi metoclopramida, seguido de óleo mineral e diazepam. Os resultados mostraram que um percentual elevado recebeu prescrição de medicamento inadequado, demonstrando a necessidade de um melhor acompanhamento de prescrições voltadas para o paciente idoso.Editora UPF2012-04-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresEstudo observacional, descritivo e transversal por amostra de conveniênciaapplication/pdfhttp://seer.upf.br/index.php/rbceh/article/view/66810.5335/rbceh.2012.668Revista Brasileira de Ciências do Envelhecimento Humano; v. 7 n. 3 (2010)2317-66951679-7930reponame:Revista Brasileira de Ciências do Envelhecimento Humano (Online)instname:Universidade de Passo Fundo (UPF)instacron:UPFporhttp://seer.upf.br/index.php/rbceh/article/view/668/pdfCunha, Saulo CoelhoMonteiro, Mirian ParenteCoelho Filho, João Macedoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-11-08T14:05:32Zoai:seer.upf.br:article/668Revistahttp://www.upf.br/seer/index.php/rbcehhttp://www.upf.br/seer/index.php/rbceh/oairbceh@upf.br||pasqualotti@upf.br2317-66951679-7930opendoar:2022-11-08T14:05:32Revista Brasileira de Ciências do Envelhecimento Humano (Online) - Universidade de Passo Fundo (UPF)false
