Abstract

Pada akhir tahun 2019 terjadi pandemi COVID-19. Pandemi ini menyebabkan masyarakat berupaya agar terhindar dari penularan virus COVID-19, salah satunya dengan membeli kebutuhan obat secara swamedikasi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pemanfaatan telefarmasi dalam memenuhi kebutuhan obat secara swamedikasi pada kelompok usia produktif di era pandemi COVID - 19. Penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian deskriptif. Responden diperoleh secara accidental sampling dengan menggunakan kuesioner online melalui google form yang disebarkan melalui media sosial. Jumlah responden yang berpartisipasi pada penelitian ini sebanyak 172 responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemanfaatan telefarmasi dalam memenuhi kebutuhan obat secara swamedikasi pada kelompok usia produktif di era pandemi COVID - 19 sebesar 24,42%. Alasan terbanyak penggunaan telefarmasi adalah kepraktisan. Sebanyak 56,98% responden tidak mengetahui bahwa terdapat apotek yang menerapkan telefarmasi. Meskipun demikian, sebanyak 86,63% responden menyatakan keberadaan telefarmasi di era pandemi merupakan suatu hal yang sangat penting dan sangat dibutuhkan. Diperlukan media promosi kesehatan yang tepat untuk masyarakat mengenai pemanfaatan telefarmasi dalam memenuhi kebutuhan obat secara swamedikasi pada usia produktif di era pandemi COVID - 19

Abstract

Antioxidants inhibited the oxidation of other molecules and played an important role in maintaining a healthy body. Antioxidants were found in fruits, vegetables, all parts of plants, and were present in the body as enzymes or products of metabolism. Vitamin E referred to a large number of natural or synthetic compounds, with alpha-tocopherol being the most active and widely distributed form in nature. Alpha-tocopherol was the most active antioxidant form of vitamin E and served as the primary lipophilic antioxidant in plasma, membranes, and tissues. The most important function of vitamin E was its antioxidant capability, counteracting free radical attacks that could damage cells and cause various degenerative diseases. Additionally, antioxidants helped reduce the effects of photoaging on the skin, potentiated anti-aging and anti-inflammatory activity, increased the rate of wound healing, and helped maintain healthy eyes and the immune system. One form of vitamin E dosage form was a soft capsule, which had several advantages, including the ease of filling the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in liquid form, higher production capacity, and formulation uniformity compared to gelatin tablets or hard capsules. Soft capsule preparations also had rapid API release, which could result in achieving therapeutic blood levels more quickly and achieving greater bioavailability. This study aimed to evaluate soft capsule dosage forms in enhancing the effectiveness of vitamin E as an antioxidant. The research utilized review articles sourced from national and international journals, as well as scientific journals. The results showed that vitamin E supplementation in soft capsules could increase its effectiveness as an antioxidant.Keywords:  Soft Capsule, Increase Effectiveness, α-tocopherol, Vitamin E, Antioxidant
