Abstract

Pharmaceutical services aim to ensure safe, correct, and rational drug use. However, the practice of purchasing hard drugs without a doctor’s prescription still frequently occurs in the community, often caused by a lack of understanding regarding drug classification and the resulting risks. This study aims to determine the level of community knowledge concerning drug classification, purchasing regulations, and the dangers of using medicines without prescriptions at Hasanah Farma Pharmacy. This research applied a descriptive quantitative method using a survey approach. Samples were taken using accidental sampling technique involving 96 respondents visiting Hasanah Farma Pharmacy during February–March 2026. Data collection used a questionnaire covering aspects of knowledge about drug classification, side effects, risk of resistance, and legal regulations. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequency distribution and percentage, and relationships between variables were tested using Chi-Square statistical test. The results showed that the community’s level of knowledge was generally categorized as moderate (49.0%), followed by low (30.2%), and high (20.8%). Most respondents understood that antibiotics are classified as prescription-only medicines, yet many were still unclear about the duration limit of use and the risk of bacterial resistance. Statistical analysis showed significant relationships between education level, information source, and knowledge level (p < 0.05). In conclusion, public understanding is not yet fully optimal. Active involvement of pharmacy professionals in continuous health education is necessary to foster a culture of rational and safe medication use.
