<![CDATA[Dyspepsia is a digestive tract disorder that almost everyone experiences, but some people still do not understand the symptoms that arise. Therapies used are generally over-the-counter and restricted-prescription drugs. Some drugs for dyspepsia disorders have specific uses such as being taken before meals, chewed. The lack of information on the use of dyspepsia drugs will result in less than optimal dyspepsia recovery. The purpose of this activity is to provide education and evaluate the level of understanding of the Rejosari elderly regarding the disease, use and storage of dyspepsia drugs. The initial stages of the activity include observation, licensing, implementation of activities and evaluation. This Community Service activity was attended by 30 Prolanis Rejosari elderly, who completed a questionnaire about dyspepsia, then delivered material and evaluated understanding of the material with a post-test. The questionnaire results showed that the Community Service activity was dominated by elderly women aged 76.7%, housewives (60%), and the highest education level was elementary school (40%). The level of understanding of dyspepsia among the elderly was good (63.3%), and their understanding of the use and storage of dyspepsia medication was good (93.33%). There was no significant relationship between age, gender, and education levels and understanding of dyspepsia (p>0.05). Education through PPT and poster media can improve knowledge and understanding of dyspepsia (p<0.05).
