We conclude that there is a large discrepancy in medications used for the same pathology in people the same age, there is a deficiency of assistance from the health team in monitoring, another important point is the exchange constant drug manufactures that confuses the elderly in question "medication use" further studies should be made so that some conclusions to be better worked.
