<![CDATA[Low medication literacy remains one of the factors contributing to irrational drug use in the community. This condition highlights the importance of improving community knowledge, particularly among women cadres who play a role in disseminating health information within their surroundings. This activity aimed to improve women cadres’ knowledge regarding drug classification, traditional medicines, and the DAGUSIBU principles (Get, Use, Store, and Dispose of medicines properly) through the Drug Information Corner Program. The activity was conducted with 26 women cadres in Sinagar Village using an educational method involving presentations and leaflets, complemented by discussions and question-and-answer sessions to enhance participants’ understanding. Knowledge was evaluated through pre-tests and post-tests, and the data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results showed that the mean knowledge score increased from 81.15 in the pre-test to 98.08 in the post-test, representing an increase of 20.86%. The Wilcoxon test results indicated a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores (p < 0.001). The Drug Information Corner Program was proven to improve women cadres’ knowledge regarding drug classification, traditional medicines, and the DAGUSIBU principles, thereby potentially supporting the improvement of medication literacy in the community.]]>
