Oguzoncul AF, et al. - Researchers aimed at examining the medication behaviors of the elderly via performing cross-sectional study including people over the age of 60 years (n=310) who lived in the nursing homes in the Elazig, Malatya, and Kayseri provinces. Results revealed that the majority of the elderly studied used more than one drug (polypharmacy). The most used drug group was antihypertensives.
