1, the masses pay little attention to the rational use of drugs for the elderly. In recent years, the state has vigorously promoted the public welfare cause with the theme of caring for the life of the elderly, and more and more people have started to pay attention to the health condition of the elderly. However, the rational use of drugs for the elderly is still developing slowly, and many people and even the medical staff of primary hospitals do not have a clear understanding of the rational use of drugs for the elderly. About 80% of the elderly over 65 years old in China suffer from chronic diseases, of which 35% suffer from 2 or more chronic diseases, usually 80% need medication, and 25% take 4 to 6 drugs at the same time. The percentage of elderly people who have received guidance from pharmacists is 12%; only 2.89% of them have problems consulting pharmacists. The elderly medication complex, the public generally do not know much about drugs and adverse drug reactions, often only know one, do not know the other. 2, the elderly medication overuse, abuse, too long and other unscientific phenomena are social ills. According to statistics, the share of the elderly medication accounts for about 50% of the overall medication, the average total amount of medication is about 5 times more than that of young people, bringing economic losses and social pressure to society and families should not be underestimated. The elderly have reduced liver and kidney function, and multiple chronic diseases are often treated by several physicians at the same time, which can easily lead to multiple prescriptions and duplication of medication. Some hope to prescribe more drugs, Chinese medicine and Western medicine “double insurance”, and even buy the fake drugs, bad drugs of the wandering doctors, liars. Some believe that “long-standing illness has become a doctor”, based on the feeling of their own increase or decrease the type and dose of drugs, resulting in adverse consequences, such as arbitrary changes in the type and dose of antihypertensive drugs, can lead to sudden changes in blood pressure, and even cause rebound hypertension and angina and other serious consequences. Any mistakes in these links may cause drug safety problems, and unfortunately these phenomena occur repeatedly. 3, network video is an effective, fast and convenient way to promote science. The characteristics of micro video is short, vivid, lively, can achieve efficient and fast drug science education for the elderly. in October 2014, China’s network video users reached 4, 2.8 billion, the current online video is mainly movies, television, science videos are relatively small, in Youku, Tudou and other video sites can hardly see the elderly drug science education video, and network video can be effective and intuitive to the masses The Internet video can effectively and intuitively disseminate the popularization information to the public, providing an efficient way to carry out the popularization of rational drug use and achieving the purpose of popularization more effectively. 4. Community science propaganda is beneficial, and it is easy to form a variety of science works. The “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” for the development of China’s aging career will “primary medical and health institutions to carry out disease prevention and control knowledge propaganda for the elderly aged 65 and above in their districts, and do a good job of health guidance and comprehensive intervention for common diseases and chronic diseases of the elderly.” The survey shows that the frequency of drug use among the elderly in the community is as high as 77.16%. In the community to carry out rational drug use education for the elderly has great potential to help achieve the true meaning of community management of health of the elderly, more noteworthy is that a large amount of popular science material can be tapped, easy to form a convenient popular science works loved by the general public.
