This type of research is retrospective descriptive and analysis using the chi-square test. Retrieval of data through medical records with total sampling method. Based on the results of the study concluded that there are potential drug interactions of 31 patients (28.18%) and there are 48 cases of interaction. The most type of interaction mechanism is pharmacodynamic interaction in 33 cases (68.75%). The highest severity of interactions was moderate interactions in 40 cases (83.33%), and the highest onset of interactions was delayed onset of 32 cases (66.67%). The results of the chi-square analysis are shown from the probability value of 0.0000 (p-value <0.005), it can be concluded that there is a relationship between the amount of drug administration in a prescription with a significant drug interaction, and the results of the ods ratio indicate that the patient receiving the number of prescriptions in the drug ≥ 5 amounted to 0.244 times higher than the drug interactions that occur.]]>
