Abstract

Introduction: Diarrhea is a common health problem that can be serious if not treated immediately. Ketapang leaves (Terminalia catappa L.) contain active compounds such as tannins and alkaloids which are known to have antibacterial activity and have the potential as an antidiarrheal drug. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ketapang leaf infusion in treating diarrhea and to determine the most optimal dose in male mice (Mus musculus). Method: The experimental study was conducted using the infusion method on 15 male mice divided into five treatment groups, namely negative control (Na CMC), positive control (loperamide), and three test groups with ketapang leaf infusion at concentrations of 25%, 50%, and 75%. Diarrhea was induced using oleum ricini, and the number of stools was monitored 180 minutes after treatment. Analysis was performed using an independent T-test. Result and Discussion: The results showed that 50% and 75% ketapang leaf infusions provided the highest stool reduction effect compared to the other groups. Conclusion: In conclusion, ketapang leaf infusion has potential as an antidiarrheal agent, with concentrations of 50% and 75% as the most effective doses in this study.

Abstract

The study focused on analyzing the secondary metabolites present in the ethanol extract of Sonchus arvensis L. leaves (SALEE) and their impact on creatinine and urea levels when administered in suspension form at different doses. Phytochemical screening of SALEE identified alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, saponins, and tannins. In the experiment, twenty-five white male rats were divided into five groups: a healthy control group (Group I), a negative control group (Group II), and three test groups (Groups III, IV, and V) receiving SALEE at doses of 200, 300, and 400 mg/kg BW, respectively. After inducing diabetes with streptozotocin and a 21-day follow-up period, creatinine and urea levels were assessed. The results demonstrated that SALEE administration significantly reduced creatinine levels and increased urea levels. Notably, the 200 mg/kg BW dose of SALEE exhibited a consistent and long-term effect. It was observed that blood urea levels fluctuated even in healthy and negative control groups during the 21-day observation period. In the group receiving the highest dose of SALEE (400 mg/kg BW), blood urea levels increased significantly on days 14 and 21, indicating a potential increase in the rats' appetite rather than renal function failure. Overall, the findings suggest that SALEE has promising potential to regulate creatinine and urea levels in the blood of individuals with diabetes, highlighting its potential for therapeutic and supplemental use.

Abstract

Various health problems, particularly those related to drugs, persist in the community. This can be caused by a lack of public understanding of the proper use and handling of drugs. The DAGUSIBU program is one method for proper drug management. The goal of DAGUSIBU outreach is to increase public understanding of drugs and how to manage and monitor their proper use. The methods used include public education through counseling and practical training. The effectiveness of the outreach was tested using pre- and post-tests, as well as a community satisfaction questionnaire. The results showed an increase in public knowledge and understanding after the DAGUSIBU outreach and education activities. Overall, the average increase in knowledge and understanding of DAGUSIBU among participants was 84%. This can help the government provide better health services. By improving participants' understanding of proper drug management, this outreach is expected to enable them to utilize the knowledge they gain within their families and communities.
