Abstract

Self-medication is increasingly common among the general public, including adolescents. However, a lack of proper understanding regarding drug use, storage, and disposal can lead to medication errors that pose serious health risks. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge of students at SMP regarding the proper and responsible use of medications through an educational session titled “Using Medicines Wisely.” The activity was conducted on May 24, 2025, by lecturers from the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Swadaya Gunung Jati (UGJ), using a face-to-face method involving a pre-test, educational material delivery, interactive discussion, and a post-test. Pre-test results showed that only 22% of participants had good knowledge, which increased to 68% after the educational session with the meaning of value. These findings indicate that the activity effectively enhanced students’ understanding of responsible self-medication practices, particularly in recognizing drug types, usage instructions, proper storage, and safe disposal methods. This program is expected to foster wise medication habits from an early age and contribute to the development of a health-conscious society.

Abstract

Background: Self-medication with analgesics may cause inappropriate medication and potentially dangerous side effects. However, data on analgesic self-medication profiles in Cirebon, Indonesia, is still limited. Aims: This research aims to analyze the profile of self-medication with analgesics among the Cirebon District, Indonesia community. Methods An observational study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted in 5 pharmacies in the Cirebon District. The sample in this study was people who bought analgesics without a doctor's prescription at the pharmacy. Primary data were obtained through a questionnaire regarding sociodemographic characteristics, reasons for self-medication, and sources of information in choosing analgesics. Results: 470 respondents participated in this study, consisting of 35.96% male and 64.04% female. The majority of samples were 31-55 years old (54.9%), worked as housewives (36.60%), senior high school graduates (39.15%), married (74.68%), and had low income (60.43%). Only 13.83% of the sample has health insurance (private or national health insurance). Most of the samples performed self-medication with analgesic because they were used to doing it (34.25%). Most of the samples received information about analgesics they consumed from health workers (39.79%). Conclusion: Self-medication with analgesics among community in Cirebon Regency, Indonesia, is mainly carried out by low-income people because they are used to treating themselves. They get information about analgesics purchased from health workers. Prevention needs to be done through promotion and education to the public regarding the side effects of self-medicated analgesics so that they do not use them without consulting a doctor.

Abstract

Hypertension is a major global health problem with increasing prevalence and significant risks of complications. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Captopril 25 mg and Amlodipine 5 mg in lowering blood pressure among hypertensive patients. An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at Waruroyom Community Health Center, involving 70 patients divided equally into two groups. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, medication adherence sheets, and calibrated digital blood pressure monitors. Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed, including paired T-tests and Mann-Whitney tests. The results showed that both Captopril and Amlodipine effectively reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure. However, Amlodipine 5 mg demonstrated a significantly greater reduction in diastolic blood pressure compared to Captopril 25 mg, while both drugs had similar effects on systolic blood pressure. The conclusion is that Amlodipine may be preferred for patients requiring greater diastolic blood pressure control, although both drugs are effective for systolic reduction.

Abstract

Background: The Indonesia Basic Health Research data show the prevalence of wounds including incision/scratches/stab wounds reaches 20.1%. Natural herbal products play an important role in the wound healing process functioning as anti-inflammatories, antioxidants, antimicrobials, and collagen formation. Mango leaves are often considered waste even though they have many health benefits with the high content of coactive compounds, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins which are good for cut wound healing. The use of gel is more stable and controlled release compared to other topical preparations. Gedong Gincu mangoes originating from West Java have unique properties and they are marketed widely in some areas including Cirebon. Aims: This study aims to identify the most effective concentration of Gedong Gincu mango leaf extract on cut wound healing in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) of the Wistar Strain. Methods: This study used a post-test-only control group design. The extract gel used three levels of concentration, namely 40%, 50%, and 60%. The positive control used 10% povidone iodine while the negative control used a gel base. The gel was applied to the cut wound twice a day for 14 days. Results: The average length of the cut wound was 0.916 cm, 0.912 cm, and 1.050 cm for concentration levels of 40%, 50%, and 60%. For the positive and negative controls, it reached 0.996 cm and 0.702 cm respectively. This indicates no significant difference in the length of the cut wound with a p-value of 0.121 (p>0.05). The wound healing process was effective at a concentration level of 60% as indicated by the disappearance of erythema and edema. Conclusion: Mango leaf extract gel (Mangifera indica L.var. Gedong Gincu) is effective in healing cut wounds with the disappearance of erythema and edema in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) Wistar strain with a concentration of 60%.
