Abstract

Depression is a mood disorder characterized by profound feelings of sadness. It frequently occurs across various societal strata and is a leading factor contributing to suicide. Multiple therapeutic approaches are available for treating depression, including antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, and anticholinergics.

This study aims to analyze the drug utilization profile and assess the appropriateness of medication use in outpatient depression patients at Dr. Radjiman Wediodiningrat Mental Hospital, Lawang, in 2024, focusing on correct indication, patient suitability, drug selection, and dosing accuracy. Data were collected retrospectively from medical records of depression patients in 2024, using a probability sampling technique. A total of 94 medical records met the inclusion criteria. The obtained data is evaluated for its precision based on therapy guidelines. The research results on drug use profiles show that the most commonly used drug therapy combination is antidepressants with antipsychotics and anxiolytics, at 36%.of prescriptions. Evaluation of drugs use revealed that 100% were appropriate in terms of indication, 100% were suitable for the patient, 93.6% were appropriate in drug selection, and 96% had accurate dosing.

Abstract

Malaria remains endemic in eastern Indonesia, and resistance to conventional antimalarial drugs necessitates alternative treatments. Black pule (Alstonia spectabilis) is one of the plants that has been researched and claimed to be a natural ingredient that can treat malaria. Black pule prototype has been prepared for the downstream stage through commercialization. Before that, it is necessary to conduct marketing research to ensure the success of the marketing. Therefore, this study evaluates consumer preferences and formulates marketing strategies for black pule antimalarial tablets. This study involved 100 respondents selected using cluster and purposive sampling across three malaria-endemic sub-districts in South Central Timor Regency. Using a quantitative-descriptive approach, data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed with descriptive statistics. The results show that most consumer targets stated that the antimalarial tablet prototype of black pule has a good impression and characteristics. Approximately 69-77% of respondents rated the product positively across shape, color, taste, aroma, size, and overall organoleptic attributes. The results indicate that the majority of respondents gave positive evaluations and expressed a preference for the product’s shape, color, taste, aroma, size, and overall organoleptic characteristics. Findings support aggressive marketing strategies for herbal antimalarial tablets in endemic regions. Based on these findings, an aggressive S-O marketing strategy is recommended, emphasizing product promotion, participation in health-related expos, strengthened digital outreach, and concise educational initiatives to improve public acceptance of the herbal antimalarial tablet.
