Nonprescription Product Use Among Geriatric Outpatients

Öz

Objectives: The use of non-prescription medications and vitamins together with herbal and over-the-counter products is common among older individuals. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence and associated factors of non-prescription medication and product use in the older individuals.
Materials and Methods: We assessed 388 older outpatients aged 60 and over, who were admitted to our geriatric clinic using a face-to-face questionnaire form. Also, the demographic characteristics of all patients were recorded. 
Results: The mean age of study population was 73.85±7.36 years (range 60-96; 62.11% female). The prevalence of non-prescription product use among all participants was 20.62 % (n = 80). The prevalence of non-prescription product use was higher in women than in men (respectively 72.50%, 27.50%, p=0.032). Apart from the marital status, there was no significant difference between non-prescription product use and age, education, income level, number of children, region of residence and social insurance existency, respectively.
One-hundred-and-eighty-six participants (47.68%) in the study sample reported polypharmacy. 79.12% of older patients (n=307) had at least one chronic disease. The majority of the study participants (62.50%) did not report the usage of non-prescription medicine to their own physicians.
Conclusion: The prevalence of non-prescription medicine and product use in Turkish older patients is high, especially among women. Many people, especially older adults are exposed to potential interactions between herbs or natural products and drugs.
