Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease with a high prevalence that requires long-term therapeutic management. One of the biggest challenges in managing T2DM is the low level of patient adherence to medication, which can trigger serious complications and increase the economic burden on the healthcare system. Pharmacist counseling plays an important role in improving patient adherence through education, motivation, and support. This study aimed to analyze the effect of pharmacist counseling on medication adherence in T2DM outpatients using data from scientific journals published between 2019 and 2024, sourced from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. A total of 10 articles were reviewed and selected based on the following inclusion criteria: studies focusing on pharmacist counseling and medication adherence in T2DM outpatients, published in English or Indonesian, and accessible in full text. The study found that various counseling interventions, such as face-to-face education, reminders via short message (SMS), and the use of informational guidance, significantly improved patient adherence, as measured by clinical parameters such as decreased HbA1c levels and improved quality of life. These findings suggest that pharmacist counseling can be an effective approach to improve the success of T2DM therapy while having a positive impact on patients' quality of life. Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, pharmacist counseling, patient compliance, HbA1c, Quality of life, pharmacy education.

Abstract

Improving service quality in the pharmacy business is crucial to attracting customer interest and maintaining customer loyalty. Customer satisfaction is one of the indicators that can be used to measure the success of service quality. This study aimed to determine the effect of delivery service quality on customer satisfaction in Apotek Habibi. This study used a descriptive observational method and a cross-sectional design. Purposive sampling was used, with the Slovin formula used to obtain 83 respondents from a total population of 497 people. Data were collected through a survey of customers who had used the delivery service at least thrice. Service quality was measured using five dimensions of the Servqual method: Tangibles, Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, and Empathy. The results show that customers are highly satisfied with delivery service quality, with the highest scores in the Tangibles dimension (92%), Reliability (90%), Responsiveness (90%), Assurance (91%), and Empathy (89%). The Pearson's correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between service quality and customer satisfaction (r = 0.537, p < 0.05). The Assurance variable emerged as the dominant factor influencing customer satisfaction with a regression coefficient of 10.810. Although customer satisfaction is high, developing a more flexible delivery system and improving promotional information transparency are necessary to maintain and enhance customer satisfaction in the future. This study provides valuable insights for Apotek Habibi to continuously improve service quality to meet customer expectations.  Keywords: Pharmacy, Customer Satisfaction, Delivery Service, Service Quality

Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that remains a global health challenge. One of the main problems in TB treatment is the emergence of drug resistance, such as in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Linezolid is a class of oxazolidinones used as second-line therapy in the treatment of drug-resistant TB. However, its use is not free from serious adverse drug reactions such as peripheral neuropathy, myelosuppression, and lactic acidosis. Therefore, understanding the pharmacokinetic profile and adverse drug reactions of linezolid is important to increase the effectiveness of therapy and minimize the risk of toxicity. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the adverse drug reactions caused by linezolid and analyze its pharmacokinetic characteristics in the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB). Methods: This article is a literature review that collects data from national and international scientific sources over the past 10 years (2015-2025), including the addition of comparative studies or meta-analyses, as well as inclusion criteria, such as articles that discuss the pharmacokinetics, adverse drug reactions, and use of linezolid in drug-resistant tuberculosis therapy, either in clinical trials, observational studies, or relevant therapeutic guidelines. Results: Based on the results of various studies, linezolid has an oral bioavailability approaching 100%, which allows oral and intravenous administration with almost equivalent doses. Its pharmacokinetic profile shows an elimination half-life of approximately 5-7 hours, with primary metabolism via nonenzymatic oxidation in the liver and excretion in the urine as inactive metabolites. These characteristics make linezolid a flexible option for drug-resistant tuberculosis therapy..
