Abstract

The global COVID-19 pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges to global health, impacting healthcare institutions worldwide. Dr. Soedomo Regional General Hospital in Trenggalek has been actively involved in treating COVID-19 patients, emphasizing the need for improved care standards and effective symptom management. Paracetamol, a commonly used medication, is a key focus in this endeavor. This study investigates the chronopharmacology of paracetamol in COVID-19 patients, emphasizing the importance of timing in therapeutic interventions. The research, conducted at Dr. Soedomo Regional General Hospital, involves 100 COVID-19 patients undergoing paracetamol therapy. The analysis includes demographic data, paracetamol administration at different times, and the resulting body temperature changes. The findings reveal that the body's response to paracetamol varies significantly depending on the time of administration. Notably, at 4:00 PM, a more pronounced decrease in body temperature is observed, suggesting a heightened effectiveness of therapy. This phenomenon is attributed to the body's circadian rhythm, influencing physiological functions over a 24-hour period. This study lays the groundwork for the "right time, right dose" concept in clinical practice. Considering the circadian rhythm is essential in designing personalized and effective treatment protocols, aiming for optimal outcomes. Despite limitations, including a small sample size, this research provides valuable insights into the circadian aspects of drug efficacy, paving the way for more tailored treatment approaches.

Abstract

Pain management is a critical aspect of pharmaceutical research, and Acorus calamus L., commonly known as jeringau, has garnered attention for its potential analgesic properties. This study focuses on evaluating the analgesic activity of the chloroform fraction from ethanol extract of jeringau leaves (Acorus calamus L.) on male white mice induced by acetic acid. Chronic and acute pain significantly impacts individuals' quality of life, emphasizing the need for effective and safe analgesic alternatives. While Acorus calamus leaf extract has shown pharmacological potential, especially the chloroform fraction, a dedicated investigation into its analgesic effects on animal models is lacking. Male white mice, recognized for their reproducible and measurable responses to painful stimuli, serve as relevant subjects in this study. The population of 25 mice, aged 2-3 months and weighing 20-30 grams, is divided into 5 treatment groups, including negative and positive controls. The study employs three dosages of the chloroform fraction, administered orally, with observations made on writhing behavior following intraperitoneal injection of 0.5% acetic acid. Statistical analysis will evaluate significant differences between treatment groups, providing insights into the analgesic potential. Results indicate that Dosage III (44.8 mg/40g BW) exhibits the highest analgesic efficacy at 73.99%, showcasing a dose-dependent response. The mechanism involves flavonoids inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzyme, aligning with established analgesic actions. Ibuprofen, the positive control, and jeringau leaf extract demonstrate analgesic effects, reinforcing traditional knowledge. This research contributes to scientific understanding, establishing a foundation for further exploration.

Abstract

Hypertension, often referred to as "The Silent Disease," presents a significant global health challenge due to its asymptomatic nature and association with severe cardiovascular complications. Effective management of hypertension primarily relies on the administration of antihypertensive drugs, either as monotherapy or combination therapy. This study investigates the utilization patterns of single antihypertensive drugs among hypertensive patients in the outpatient setting of Puskesmas "X" in Solo City. Utilizing a retrospective approach, data from patient medical records were analyzed to examine drug usage patterns and patient responses to therapy. Results revealed a noteworthy preference for combination therapy, with approximately 64.18% of patients opting for this approach. Combination therapy strategies were favored due to their additive and synergistic effects, potential for reducing side effects, and enhanced blood pressure control. Specifically, amlodipine from the calcium channel blocker (CCB) group emerged as the most commonly prescribed single antihypertensive drug, while the combination of amlodipine with candesartan from the angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) group was the predominant combination therapy. These findings align with previous research, emphasizing the significance of combination therapies in hypertension management..
