Abstract

Health problems due to high cholesterol levels in the blood are a big challenge for the people of Indonesia, especially in urban areas such as Makassar. High cholesterol is closely related to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and other metabolic complications. On the other hand, the public's understanding of the rational use of drugs is still limited, so it has the potential to cause side effects, drug resistance, and decreased therapy effectiveness. The method of implementing the activity consisted of educational counselling related to the classification of drugs, how to use, store, and dispose of drugs correctly, as well as demonstrations of the use of cholesterol checkers (Easy Touch) using the Point of Care Testing (POCT) method. In addition, participants were given insight into the risk factors for high cholesterol and their control strategies, such as a healthy diet, exercise, and regular check-ups. The activity results showed high enthusiasm and participation of participants in the discussion and practice sessions. Brief evaluations through question-and-answer methods indicated increased participants' understanding of the importance of rational medication use and initial skills in independent cholesterol examination. This activity not only fosters health awareness but also strengthens the function of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education in community service. Thus, this activity contributes to increasing public health literacy and encouraging a healthy lifestyle to reduce the prevalence of non-communicable diseases in urban areas.

Abstract

Background: Antioxidants are compounds that can protect against oxidative stress caused by free radicals, both from inside the body (endogenous) and outside (exogenous). Many plants have antioxidant properties, including gambling (Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels). This plant is known to have various bioactive components that can capture and neutralize free radicals; Jamblang fruit has antioxidant activity caused by the content of flavonoid compounds in it. These compounds can be utilized as topical preparations for skin care products. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of ethanol extract concentration of jamblang fruit (Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels) on the physical stability of the cream. Methods: This research is conducted in an experimental laboratory. Jamblang fruit extract was obtained using the maceration method using 96% ethanol. The extract was then formulated in the form of a m/a type cream preparation with concentration variations of 1% (FI), 2% (F2), and 3% (F3). The physical stability test of the cream includes viscosity, spread, adhesion, and pH value tests. The data is analyzed to determine the effect of adding extracts and the storage time on the physical stability of the cream. Results: The test showed that an increase in the concentration of ethanol extract from jamblang fruit led to a decrease in pH value, viscosity value, and adhesion and could increase dispersion. It was concluded that the variation in the concentration of ethanol extract from jamblang fruit influenced the physical properties of M/A cream. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the variation in the concentration of ethanol extract of jamblang fruit affects the physical properties of the oil cream in water (M/A). The effects caused include a decrease in pH value, a reduction in viscosity, a decrease in adhesion, and an increase in dispersion. These changes will ultimately affect the physical stability of the cream preparation.

Abstract

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of global mortality, accounting for approximately 20.5 million deaths annually, according to the World Health Organization. Elevated cholesterol is a major modifiable risk factor contributing to atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and stroke. In Southeast Asia, the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia continues to rise alongside increasing non-communicable diseases. Optimal statin therapy requires adequate patient knowledge to ensure adherence and prevent inappropriate use. This study aimed to determine the level of patient knowledge regarding the use of simvastatin at a community pharmacy in Makassar, Indonesia. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from June to August 2024 at Abifayruz Pharmacy. A total of 25 adult patients who had received simvastatin were recruited using incidental sampling. Knowledge was assessed using a 10-item structured questionnaire based on the Guttman scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and binary logistic regression. Effect sizes were reported as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Statistical significance was set at α = 0.05. Results: Overall, 90% of respondents demonstrated high knowledge. In multivariable analysis, no independent variable was significantly associated with high knowledge (e.g., male sex AOR=1.89; 95% CI: 0.11–31.2; p=0.662). Wide confidence intervals reflected limited precision due to a small sample size. Conclusion: Although overall knowledge was high, specific gaps in long-term adherence and in recognizing adverse effects remain. Strengthening pharmacist-led counseling protocols in community pharmacies may enhance medication literacy and support cardiovascular disease prevention strategies
