Results: Of the 72 charts studied, 35 (48,6%) had metabolic syndrome, of these, 15 (42,8%) used antihypertensive and lipid-lowering followed by hypoglycemic. Of the patients with metabolic syndrome, 12 (34,3%) not used drugs for the treatment thereof, however other drugs were used for the treatment of other comorbidities. Using these data, we can further identify that at least 12 (34,3%) of patients had drug interactions.
