Present about the objective was to identify the prevalence of benzodiazepine use in older inpatients. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at National Geriatric Hospital in 2020 with 258 participants aged 60 and older. Benzodiazepine use was assessed through interview older in-patients about all of sleeping pills they have used before being admitted to the hospital and combined with review of the medical record. The mean age was 73.9 years old. There were 11.2% older patients using benzodiazepines. Only 20.7% patients used benzodiazepines every month, 18.3% used once in 2 - 3 months, and more than a half of older inpatients (65.5%) had used these drugs a few times per year. The mean time of using per month among benzodiazepines users was 7.37 (SD = 6.93). The reduction in the prescription of these drugs should be assessed individually, considering the physiological alterations of the elderly and their adverse effects, in order to minimize incorrect prescriptions.
