Abstract

Various drug-related problems can be caused by the community's lack of understanding about the use and proper handling of drugs. Providing education on how to use special drugs such as ear drops is very important because there are critical points in ear drops, especially in the method of instillation. Providing incomplete and unclear information on how to use drugs will result in less than optimal therapy so that the drug will not achieve the desired therapeutic effect. This community service activity aims to increase public knowledge about how to use ear drops properly. This service is carried out by providing information through leaflets and explaining directly to the community. Providing education on how to administer ear drops to the community received a good response because most people do not know how to use them properly. The presence of 36 participants and the participants who attended were very enthusiastic in listening to the explanation and actively asked questions related to the use of ear drops and their handling. This can support the realization of government programs in improving health services for the community. This counseling received significant results. Therefore, the PkM TEAM hopes that with this counseling, it can share information about the correct use and handling of ear drops with their family members.

Abstract

Diarrhea is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in children, especially in areas with limited access to health services. Self-medication is the main alternative for some people, but is often done without adequate understanding. This community service activity aims to improve parents' understanding of self-medication for diarrhea in children and implement the role of pharmacists in providing education and monitoring rational drug use. Activities are carried out in several areas in South Sulawesi through counseling, training, and individual consultations. The results of the activity show an increase in knowledge and more appropriate behavior in the use of antidiarrheal drugs. The implementation of the role of pharmacists has proven effective in encouraging safe and rational self-medication in the community.
