Self-medication for cough symptoms is an act of treating all cough complaints/symptoms in oneself using simple medicines that are obtained without a doctor's advice. This research was conducted using a descriptive analytic survey method with a cross sectional design by distributing questionnaires to the Allandrew Housing community. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of public knowledge about self-medication for cough symptoms and to find out the pattern of self-medication in the Allandrew Housing community. Based on research on 92 respondents, it showed that 90.22% of respondents were in the good category regarding knowledge about what self-medication was, the level of knowledge with the category was lacking in knowing the difference between expectorant and intuitive drugs with a proportion of 45.65% and the good category in distinguishing the types of cough medicines consumed with the proportion of 73.91%.

Abstract

This study explores community preferences and decision-making in the use of traditional and modern medicine in North Sulawesi from a health anthropology perspective. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 participants, and data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of perception and factors influencing treatment choice. The results show that traditional medicine is preferred for mild illnesses due to perceptions of safety, affordability, and cultural familiarity, whereas modern medicine is favored for severe or chronic conditions because of its clinical validation, measurable outcomes, and professional supervision. However, a growing trend of complementary use, combining both traditional and modern treatments, was observed, motivated by safety concerns, family or peer advice, and information obtained through the internet, especially social media. The study concludes that decision-making in the use of traditional and modern medicine in North Sulawesi is influenced by illness severity, perceptions, social factors, and access to information. Traditional medicine is preferred for mild conditions, whereas modern medicine is used for severe or chronic illnesses. The combined use of both reflects a pragmatic approach within a pluralistic health system. These findings highlight the need for culturally grounded integration and improved health literacy.

Abstract

Therapeutic drug monitoring is an important part of epilepsy therapy management. The correct dosage is essential for controlling epileptic seizures and avoiding side effects, toxicity and treatment failure. This study aims to determine the level of antiepileptic drugs in the blood using a pharmacokinetic model and its effect on the clinical outcomes of epilepsy ambulatory patients at Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou General Hospital in Manado. This study is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. Data was collected retrospectively from the medical records of epilepsy patients who used antiepileptic drugs between July 2024 and July 2025. Data collection was conducted from July to September 2025 on 75 medical records that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data was analysed statistically using the bivariate Chi-Square Test. The results showed no significant effect between antiepileptic drug levels in the blood and the clinical outcome of seizure-free duration (p>0.05), both for valproic acid (p=0.753) and phenytoin (p=0.533). In conclusion, although blood drug levels varied (too low, within the therapeutic range, or too high), these differences did not significantly affect the length of time patients remained seizure-free. Thus, decisions regarding dose adjustment can be based on clinical response, such as the presence or absence of seizures, side effect, and treatment adherence.

Abstract

Self-medication is an effort by the community to maintain their own health, which can have both positive and negative effects. This study aims to analyse the quality of self-medication services in Manado City using a mystery customer approach. The study was conducted in 96 pharmacies from March to June 2025 using a cross-sectional design. The subjects of this study consisted of pharmacists, pharmacy vocational workers and pharmacy staff. Based on the results of the study, the highest percentages in the demographic data included pharmacy ownership 73.96% (individual), pharmacy location 30,21% (South Manado), time of visit 60,42% (afternoon or evening), disease cases 16,67% (fever), and service providers 46,88% (pharmacy vocational workers). The highest percentages in patient examination and drug information were for whom the drug was intended (57,29%), rational drug use (68,75%), and instructions for use (59,38%). The lowest percentage related to the information provided was on specific medical conditions, one of which was pregnancy (0%). It can be concluded that the quality of self-medication services at pharmacies in the Manado City area varies, mainly depending on the service provider.
