ABSTRACT
Elderly patients make up the most medicated age group in society, mainly due to the increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases and because they have three main characteristics that differentiate them from other age groups: polypathology, polypharmacy and physiological changes related to aging. The objective of this research was to characterize the presence of polypharmacy and the associations of drugs suggestive of possible potential drug interactions in the elderly from a doctor's office linked to the Main Municipal Pharmacy of Santa Clara.REFERENCES
