<![CDATA[Dyspepsia is a feeling of discomfort originating from the upper abdomen. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of drug use in patients with dyspepsia and the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics, especially age and sex, and risk factors at Rokan Hulu Hospital for the period June–November 2022. This study used a non-experimental descriptive method. Samples were taken from as many as 110 patients. The results showed that the most common patient characteristics were female sex by 66.4% (73 people), the elderly-late age group of 56 years by 30.9% (34 people), patients who did not work by 66.4% (73 people), the drug that was widely used was lansopazole by 48.7% (95 prescriptions), and the class of drug that was widely used was the proton pump inhibitor group by 48.7% (95 prescriptions). On the results of the chi-square test with a significance value of p = 0.05 for the relationship between age, gender, and risk factors, the age value is p = 0.025, while gender is p = 0.000. It was concluded that at Rokan Hulu Hospital, the evaluation of dyspepsia drugs was 100% correct and showed that there was a relationship between age, gender, and risk factors for work. Further research is expected to take observation locations in two or more places as a comparison for more varied results.]]>
