Abstract

Nutmeg seed oil has a low absorption time and is unstable during storage; therefore, so to facilitate this it is made in a nanoemulgel form because it can increase contact time and increase drug penetration into the skin. This study aimed to determine the effect of variations in nutmeg seed oil concentration on the physical characteristics and penetration rate of nanoemulgel preparations. Nanoemulgel was made by mixing the nanoemulsion phase into a gel base with oil concentrations of 4.5%, 5%, and 5.5%. The nanoemulsion physical characteristics results are 90.7–91.1% for the turbidimetry test, 453–516 nm for particle size, 42.4–48.6 mV for the zeta potential test, 6.46–6.66 for the pH test, and O/W for nanoemulsion type. Physical characteristics included organoleptic tests, homogeneity, pH, adhesive power, spreadability, viscosity, and rheology. The penetration rate was determined using the Franz diffusion-cell method. The results showed that the nanoemulgel preparation was white in color and had a characteristic smell of nutmeg oil, a semisolid, homogeneous texture, skin pH of 4.5–6.5, spreadability met the range of 5–7 cm, adhesion of >4 seconds, viscosity of 4000–50000 cPs, and pseudoplastic flow properties. The best formulas are found in Formulas 1 and 2 because the stability test meets the requirements for good physical characteristics. Variations in the concentration of nutmeg oil did not show any influence on the penetration rate, with the flux values ??obtained for each formula being F1 0.0117 mg/cm2hour-1, F2 0.0126 mg/cm2hour-11, and F3 0.0246 mg/cm2hour-1.

Abstract

Antibiotic resistance is the most challenging problem in the 21st century. Therefore, the WHO released a classification of antibiotics into the Access, Watch, and Reserve (AWaRe) group, with the aim of optimizing the use of the access group to at least 60%. The objective of this study was to determine the profile of antibiotic prescriptions at community pharmacies in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, during the period 2019–2022, based on the AWaRe classification. A Cross-sectional survey was designed to collect data on antibiotic prescriptions from community pharmacies across four regions of the Sleman Regency. Each antibiotic was classified in accordance with the AWaRe classification and the quantity of prescribed antibiotics was calculated in DDD units following the ATC/DDD method. This study found that in terms of the antibiotic agents, 10-13 antibiotic from the Access group (52%–62%) were prescribed during the study period. Meanwhile, in terms of quantity expressed in DDD units, 52.38% and 61.90% of prescribed antibiotics were from the Access group, according to the AWaRe classification released by the WHO and the Indonesian Ministry of Health, respectively. In conclusion, antibiotic prescriptions at community pharmacies in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, have reached the target of optimizing the use of access groups according to the Indonesian Ministry of Health, but were still slightly below the target of the WHO.   eywords: Antibiotic Prescription; ATC/DDD; AWaRe Classification; Community Pharmacy

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogenic bacterium commonly associated with various infections. An initial step in preventing and addressing infections is the use of antibacterial soaps. The purslane extract can serve as an antibacterial agent that inhibits the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, while VCO offers additional protection through its antimicrobial properties and ability to maintain skin moisture. This study aimed to formulate a solid soap using 96% ethanol extract of purslane combined with VCO. Purslane powder was extracted using a maceration method. The physical properties of the soap were evaluated, including organoleptic evaluation, PH, homogeneity, foaming capacity, foam stability, and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Based on the results of the physical property evaluations, the solid soap met the required standards. The antibacterial effectiveness test showed inhibition zones for F1 at 3.21 ± 0,023 (weak category), F2 at 4,26 ± 0,102 (weak category), and F3 at 5,2 ± 0,070 (weak category). The results indicate that the purslane extract, in combination with varying amounts of VCO, can be formulated into solid soap that meets the physical property evaluation criteria and possesses antibacterial activity against the growth of Staphylococcus aureus.  Keywords: Solid Soap; Antibacterial; Purslane Plant; VCO; Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract

Hypertension is the primary cause of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), as it damages blood vessels in the kidneys. The most commonly used management for hypertension as monotherapy includes Calcium Channel Blockers (CCB) such as Amlodipine and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB) such as candesartan. Patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis depend on dialysis machines, which impacts their economic burden. Therefore, a cost analysis review of drugs with the same therapeutic goals is necessary. This was a non-experimental study with a descriptive design. Data were collected through retrospective purposive sampling from January to December 2023 using medical records and payment data for inpatient treatments with hemodialysis that met the inclusion criteria. Direct medical costs included antihypertensive, other medication, service and facility fees, and medical support costs. Of the 100 samples that met the inclusion criteria from January to December 2023, amlodipine was the most commonly used antihypertensive (56%), followed by candesartan (38%). The average direct medical costs were IDR 184.350 for Amlodipine and IDR 561,339 for candesartan. The patient characteristics by gender showed a higher percentage of males (52%) than of females (48%). By age, the majority were in the late adult group (67%), whereas the elderly accounted for (33%). The Amlodipine group achieved more significant cost minimization than the candesartan group. Future studies should examine the potential of amlodipine in reducing the economic burden of limited resources.  Keywords: antihypertensive, CMA, CKD
