Abstrakt: The review presents the data on the characteristics of drug therapy in elderly and senile patients with arterial hypertension in terms of real-life clinical practice. The age and gender differences of these problems are discussed. The pharmacy epidemiologic analysis of antihypertensive therapy shows that nowadays treatment corresponds not fully to modern national and international recommendations about diagnostics and treatment of arterial hypertension. In the treatment of the associate states patients with arterial hypertension do not receive enough beta adrenoblockers, desagreganthy and gypocholesterinemics therapy. The doctors rarely prescribe thiazide diuretics, calcium antagonists, angiotensin II receptors antagonists and the combined forms of medicines. The positive factor is a small fraction of the short-acting preparations, the "old" drugs with poor safety profile used for the treatment of hypertension.
