This cross-sectional study was performed to identify drug-related problems (DRPs) occurred during beta-lactam therapy in pediatric hospitalized in a secondary-care hospital in Cimahi. A predetermined medication-use criteria based on the current literatures was created as an assessment standard tools. Furthermore, identification of DRPs based on PCNE v6.2 classification was carried out concurrently (January-March 2015) to 351 patients. As many as 458 DRPs were found including 22 cases inappropriate drugs (category C1.1), 127 cases no indication for drug (C1.2), 42 cases inappropriate combination of drugs, or drugs and food (C1.4), 1 case of too many drugs prescibed for indication (C1.6), 137 cases drug dose too low (C3.1), 89 cases drug dose too high (C3.2), 39 cases duration of treatment too short (C4.1), and 1 case of duration of treatment too long (C4.2).
