Rational Drug Use in Geriatric Patients in the County of Gaziantep

Öz

Aim: The incidence of chronic diseases increases with advancing age. On the other hand, as people get older, the rate of adherence to long-term therapeutic regimens decreases. However, the success of any treatment depends on adherence to medication. The aim of this study was to collect data on the patterns of medication use in older patients with chronic diseases.

Material and Methods: Study-specific surveys were administered by trained medical interviewers to geriatric patients who visited the cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, neurology, and internal medicine outpatient clinics.

Results: Of 114 patients (59 women and 55 men) enrolled in the study, 31% used drugs for reasons other than their current chronic conditions, whereas 68% used over-the-counter vitamin supplements. Twenty-six percent of the patients stopped taking prescribed drugs without consulting their physicians and 39% stopped due to forgetfulness. While 85% of the patients used one or more drugs in the previous month, approximately 49% used at least 4 drugs per day in the same period. When drug consumption was assessed based on educational status, it was found that 51% of those who were illiterate and 23% of the university graduates used 4 or more drugs per day.

Conclusions: The results of our study revealed that geriatric patients with chronic diseases took at least 4 drugs per day and the frequency of over-the-counter medication use was high. They were not knowledgeable about rational drug use. These findings suggest that population-based education, and follow-up programs tailored according to regional needs should be implemented to improve rational drug use.
