Abstract

Giving antibiotics is the main treatment in the management of infectious diseases. Antibiotics are drugs that come from all or some of certain microorganisms and are used to treat infections from bacteria, but improper use will have an impact on the emergence of resistance so that the benefits will be reduced. This study aims to determine the pattern of antibiotic use in pediatric patients at the parkit inpatient unit of RSAU dr. Esnawan Antariksa. Based on the results of research data taken in January - February 2024 with a sample size of 43 patients. The largest number of pediatric patients hospitalized in parkit rooms was diagnosed with pneumonia as many as 20 patients (46.51%), with male gender being 22 patients (51%) and the most age being 0-4 years 25 patients (58%). The antibiotic used in the third-generation cephalosporin group was ceftriaxone in 20 patients (46.51%), the dosage form most used was injection and the route of administration most used was intravenous in 22 patients (51.18%).
