Improper medication management at the household level is still commonly found in the community, including inappropriate use, storage, and disposal of medicines. These practices may cause health risks and environmental problems. Therefore, educational interventions are needed to improve public awareness through the DAGUSIBU program (Obtain, Use, Store, and Dispose of Medicines Properly) and understanding of Beyond Use Date (BUD). This community service activity aimed to increase the knowledge of women participating in religious study groups in Sinar Harapan Hamlet, Muhajirin Village, Muaro Jambi Regency. The activity was conducted through health education using leaflet media accompanied by interactive discussions. The results showed positive responses from participants, and the educational materials were well received, providing additional insight regarding proper medication management, particularly related to DAGUSIBU and Beyond Use Date (BUD). The use of leaflets proved effective in delivering concise and easily understood information. Education on DAGUSIBU and BUD is expected to promote safer and more rational medication management practices at the household level.
