摘要：

Objective: To identify in the scientific literature, between 2016 and 2018, studies on polypharmacy in community-dwelling elderly. Methods: integrative review, performed in the PUBMED, BVS/BIREME, SCOPUS, WEB OF SCIENSE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and CINAHL databases. Results: sixteen articles were selected for this review. Regarding the use of medication by elderly residents in the community, studies showed the prevalence of use, characteristics and factors associated with polypharmacy in the elderly; adequate knowledge of prescription drugs; and use of potentially inappropriate medications. Conclusion: identifying medication use in the elderly points to the need for better communication between professionals and patients, encouraging self-care, minimizing the risk of complications, preventing iatrogenesis and hospitalizations, as well as reducing mortality in the elderly due to improper medication use.
