production in the last ten years about the evidence the use of information leaflets in the
pharmaceutical guidance to the elderly as education strategy in health and safe care.
Method: We defined the method integrative review from 2005/2015. The databases were

Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online) and SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library
Online). Result: They attended the selection criteria 51 articles. It was observed that the
patients and their families should be educated by the health team, in order to reduce the
