Abstract

Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is a chronic disease responsible for increasing cardiovascular complications, morbidity and mortality in people. In Brazil, it is more frequent in patients with diseases, or pharmacological treatment can trace quality and longevity of life in patients with diseases, therefore, in the absence of adherence to treatment, it can cause health complications. Therefore, the objective of this work is to demonstrate the importance of pharmaceutical assistance in the treatment of systemic arterial hypertension in the elderly. An integrative review was carried out in the literature on pharmaceutical care in patients with arterial hypertension, the queue was obtained through books, articles and newspapers based on the data. Through the bibliographic research carried out, I found that the pharmacological treatment of hypertensive patients carried out in conjunction with a pharmaceutical follow-up, has a better therapeutic efficacy, the pharmacist is the professional trained to promote and guarantee the rational use of medicines, being essential in pharmaceutical adaptation, guaranteeing health and quality of life for the elderly. Even so, it is expected that this study will serve as a subsidy for further research on pharmaceutical care in patients with hypertension and that the pharmaceutical professional will be recognized and engaged in the pharmacological treatment of hypertension in the elderly population in Brazil.
