Abstract:

. The aim of this study was to compare the prescriptions of benzodiazepines (bzd) in adults and elderly, regarding to indicators of appropriated use. It’s a cross-sectional study about data collected of patients treated at the Mental Health Clinic, city of Sorocaba, SP, Brazil between March 2013 and November 2013. The indicators of rational use of drugs were: appropriated drug with adequate posology and duration. Others indicators were: the use (of only one bzd, as anxiolytic for less than 3 months, in the treatment of depression with antidepressants, for less than 2 months combined with antidepressants, and of no prescription of long-acting bzd in elderly). Of the 330 patients, the most of them were women with familiar history of mental disease and use of bzd, didn’t perform counseling with psychologist; and used other psychotropic drugs and polipharmacy (p > 0.05). A minority of prescriptions had indication of use of bzd (37.5% of elderly and 32.4% of adults) (p > 0.05). Only 5.8% of prescriptions to elderly and 1.9% to adults was rational (p > 0.05). The chronic use was observed in 100% of adults and elderly with depressive and anxiety (p > 0.05). The minority of prescriptions to adults and elderly was appropriate.
