EDUKASI PENGGUNAAN OBAT DI BULAN PUASA DI INSTALASI FARMASI RUMAH SAKIT DAERAH IDAMAN BANJARBARU

Drug Use Education in the Fasting Month at the Pharmacy Installation of the Idaman Regional Hospital Banjarbaru

Abstract

Abstract: The pattern of medication consumption during Ramadan, which previously could be done throughout the day, must be adjusted to only within a range of approximately 10.5 hours each day. Therefore, adjustments are needed in the medication schedule so that the effectiveness of the treatment is as expected. The method used for health education is participatory education using PowerPoint (PPT) media. The PPT media contains accurate, interesting, and interactive information so that listeners can focus on the information being presented. Health education on “Medication Use During Fasting Month” was held at the Outpatient Pharmacy Depot of the Idaman Banjarbaru Regional General Hospital on Monday, March 10, 2025, from 10:00 to 10:30 a.m. WITA, ending with an open discussion through a question and answer session. Based on the discussion results, many patients were unaware of the proper rules for taking medication during the fasting month, and patients also felt afraid that using special medical devices during fasting might invalidate their fast.
