Objective: to investigate polypharmacy and its relationship with drug interactions in the prescriptions of elderly patients treated in pharmacies of the El Triunfo Population Center during the first quarter of 2022. Material and Method: quantitative approach, non-experimental, deductive, cross-sectional design, population and sample of 350 older adult patients. Data collection technique: the survey and an 18-question questionnaire instrument. Results: 70% of the older adult population that comes with a medical prescription uses polypharmacy, thus generating a greater probability of producing drug interactions, with the age group of 60 to 69 years (18%) being males (57%) prevailing. Highlighting the pharmacokinetic drug interaction (68%) at the level of absorption and metabolism. The most frequently used drugs were Sildenafil (12%), Fluconazole (9%), Aspirin 100mg (7%), Ranitidine (7%) and Enalapril (7%) and the health problems that conditioned the use of polypharmacy were Erectile Dysfunctions (14.86%), Mycoses and Hypertension (11.14%), Gastritis (10.86%) and Cardiac Problems (10.57%). Conclusions: the prevalence of Drug Interactions in older adult patients is closely related to polypharmacy.
