<![CDATA[Inappropriate use of medicines during fasting remains a community concern due to limited understanding of dose scheduling and proper medication use during fasting. Banjarwati Village, located in Paciran District, is an area that still requires improved health education, particularly regarding medicine use during fasting. This community service activity aimed to improve public knowledge of proper medicine use during fasting. The activity was conducted on 30 January 2026 at Tiara Farma Pharmacy, Banjarwati Village, Paciran District, Lamongan Regency. The method consisted of direct educational sessions through interactive presentations, discussions, and educational media in the form of leaflets and posters. Participants were encouraged to actively engage in question-and-answer sessions to clarify misconceptions related to medication schedules, dosage adjustments, and the safe use of medicines while fasting. Evaluation was carried out using pretest and posttest to measure participants’ knowledge improvement. The results showed an increase in the average knowledge score from 72.94 before the session to 92.94 after the session, and statistical analysis demonstrated a significance value of p < 0.001, indicating a meaningful difference. These findings suggest that educational interventions are effective in enhancing community understanding and promoting the rational use of medicines during fasting periods, thereby supporting better health outcomes and medication adherence]]>
