Abstract

Background: Medication adherence in geriatric patients is a major challenge as polypharmacy increases the risk of drug-related problems (DRPs). The role of clinical pharmacy is important in addressing these issues through evidence-based approaches. Objective: To review the effectiveness of various clinical pharmacy interventions in improving medication adherence in geriatric patients. Methods: This article used a systematic review of 13 literature selected from 934 articles based on inclusion criteria in the last 10 years, using PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The focus of the analysis included education, monitoring, and the use of tools such as pill cards and medication reminder charts. Results: Clinical pharmacy interventions, such as the use of Beers and STOPP/START criteria, counseling, and educational programs using tools, were shown to improve adherence in geriatric patients. Programs such as pill boxes increased adherence by 83.33%. However, some tools such as medication reminder charts had limited effectiveness. Conclusion: A collaborative approach, including patient and family education, monitoring, and clinical criteria-based therapy adjustments, is essential to improve medication adherence in geriatric patients, which directly improves their quality of life.

Abstract

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to decreased insulin secretion or insulin resistance. T2DM can lead to microvascular complications, such as neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy, as well as macrovascular complications, including heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between age, gender, HbA1c levels, and the duration of T2DM with the complications experienced by T2DM patients at Ibnu Sina Hospital Makassar. Method: This was a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design involving 40 T2DM patients. Data were collected using secondary patient records. Results: The most common complication found was diabetic neuropathy, affecting 19 patients (47.5%). Statistical analysis using the chi-square test showed a significant relationship between age and complications (p = 0.002) and between HbA1c levels and complications (p = 0.004). Gender showed no significant relationship with complications. The duration of T2DM could not be analyzed due to incomplete data. Conclusion: Age and HbA1c levels are significantly associated with the occurrence of complications in T2DM patients at Ibnu Sina Hospital in 2023. Regular monitoring and strict glycemic control are essential to minimize the risk of complications.

Abstract

Background: Liver cirrhosis is a chronic liver disease characterized by fibrosis and replacement of normal liver tissue with abnormal nodules. The main etiologies include hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections, alcohol-related liver disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The prevalence of liver cirrhosis based on autopsy findings is around 2.4% in Western countries, while in the United States it is estimated at 360 per 100,000 population, causing approximately 35,000 deaths annually. Objective: This case report aims to describe the treatment and identify drug-related problems (DRPs) in a patient diagnosed with PNSD CTP B liver cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis B, dyspepsia syndrome, hypoalbuminemia, and impaired liver function. Method: This study employed a case report design with primary data obtained from patient interviews and retrospective documentation review. Data were analyzed using the SOAP method to identify DRPs. Results: The analysis revealed minor drug interactions, including spironolactone–furosemide, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)–morphine sulfate tablet (MST), and cefixime–furosemide. Conclusion: Patients with complex comorbidities are at increased risk of DRPs. Continuous pharmacotherapy monitoring is essential to minimize toxicity and adverse effects.

Abstract

Background. Salmonella typhi is the leading cause of typhoid fever, a gastrointestinal infection that resulted in about 9 million cases and 110,000 deaths globally in 2019. One of the drugs that is currently often used in the treatment of this disease is ciprofloxacin. Over time, more and more bacteria are experiencing drug resistance, including to these drugs. In addition, many patients also doubt the quality of generic ciprofloxacin drugs because they are cheaper than branded drugs. In fact, the Regulation of the Minister of Health No. HK.02.02/MENKES/068/I/2010 requires the use of generic drugs in government health facilities. Primary Objective: This study aimed to see and compare the sensitivity of generic and branded ciprofloxacin antibiotics in inhibiting Salmonella typhi. Methodology: This study was an antibiotic sensitivity test by the agar diffusion method (Kirby Bauer). Results: The results showed that one generic ciprofloxacin and seven branded classes still had sensitive inhibitory power and there was no significant difference between the generic and branded groups. Conclusions: There was no significant difference between generic and branded antibiotics between generic and branded antibiotics ciprofloxacin against Salmonella typhi.
