Abstract

Diabetes mellitus and hypertension are two chronic conditions that frequently occur simultaneously and require long-term pharmacological therapy. The combination of treatments in patients with both diseases increases the potential for drug interactions, which can compromise therapeutic effectiveness and elevate the risk of adverse effects. This study aimed to evaluate the severity of drug interactions in outpatients with diabetes mellitus and hypertension at Advent Hospital Medan during the period from October to December 2023. A non-experimental descriptive study with a cross-sectional design was employed, using retrospective data from 191 outpatient prescriptions that met the inclusion criteria. Evaluation was conducted on administrative, pharmaceutical, and clinical aspects of the prescriptions, with a primary focus on identifying drug interactions using the reference database Drugs.com. The results showed that drug interactions were present in 52.4% of the analyzed prescriptions. Most interactions were classified as moderate in severity, predominantly involving pharmacodynamic mechanisms. The most frequent interacting drug combinations included metformin, glimepiride, amlodipine, bisoprolol, and candesartan. The high prevalence of drug interactions among patients with diabetes mellitus and hypertension highlights the importance of systematic prescription screening as a preventive measure. These findings can serve as a basis for developing rational drug use policies and enhancing patient safety in clinical practice.

Abstract

Hyperglycemia or elevated blood sugar levels due to decreased pancreatic insulin productin, is a sign of a metabolic disorder that leads to diabetes mellitus (DM). One crucial factor in managing diabetes mellitus is the patient’s knowledge and adherence to treatment. Patients with adequate knowledge are more likely to comply with therapy, which helps control the disease. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and the level of medication adherence in diabetes mellitus patients in Advent Hospital Medan. This research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design and a purposive sampling technique. The research involved 90 patients who were selected and agreed to participate as respondents. Data were collected using a validated Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ-24) and Medication Adherence Report Scale (MARS-5). Data analysis was conducted using a non-parametric statistical test, specifically the Chi-Square test. The study found that the majority of patients had a high level of knowledge (48,9%) but were non-adherent to medication (56,7%). The Chi-Square test showed a significance of 0.001 < 0.05, indicating a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and medication adherence among diabetes mellitus patients at Advent Medan Hospital.

Abstract

The Zingiberaceae family, known as the ginger family, is rich in secondary metabolites that contribute to its extensive use in traditional and modern medicine. Understanding effective methods for isolating these metabolites is crucial for advancing their pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. A literature review of 10 journal articles published between 2015 and 2025 was conducted. The focus was on spectrophotometric (UV-Vis, FTIR) and chromatographic (TLC, HPLC, LC-MS) techniques applied to the rhizomes of Zingiberaceae species. Data on compound identification, quantification, and method performance were analysed. Rhizomes of Curcuma aeruginosa, Alpinia purpurata, Zingiber officinale, and Boesenbergia pandurata were reported to contain flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolics, terpenoids, and curcuminoids. Spectrophotometric methods provided functional group identification and estimation of total metabolite concentrations. Chromatographic approaches enabled separation, purification, and structural elucidation with high specificity. Notably, flavenochromane C from Zingiber cassumunar and piperine from Alpinia purpurata were identified using LC-MS and NMR spectroscopy. In addition, TLC-densitometry for curcuminoids and xanthorrhizol in Curcuma xanthorrhiza demonstrated high accuracy and precision. Spectrophotometric techniques offer rapid and cost-effective screening, while chromatographic methods provide detailed identification and quantification of specific compounds. The complementary use of both approaches enhances the accuracy and reliability of isolating Zingiberaceae metabolites, supporting their further utilisation in medicinal research and product development.
