Cegah Interaksi Obat Melalui Edukasi Tepat Penggunaan Obat Amlodipin dan Simvastatin Pasien Puskesmas Pekauman
Abstract
Hypertension and hyperlipidemia are chronic conditions that frequently co-occur and contribute significantly to global morbidity and mortality. In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension stands at 34.1% and that of hyperlipidemia at 21.2%. At the Pekauman Community Health Centre in Banjarmasin, preliminary studies have revealed that prescriptions for outpatients frequently contain a combination of amlodipine and simvastatin; however, no education regarding the correct use of these medicines or their potential interactions has ever been provided. The combination of these two medicines carries a risk of interactions that can lead to serious side effects. This health promotion activity aimed to improve patients’ knowledge regarding the correct and safe use of amlodipine and simvastatin. The methods employed included direct education and the distribution of leaflets over three days, with evaluation using pre- and post-tests via a questionnaire comprising five statements. A total of 12 participants took part in this activity. The results showed an average increase in knowledge scores from 35% to 98.33%. Direct education, accompanied by informative printed materials, was able to improve patients’ understanding of the risks of drug interactions and how to take the medicines safely. This activity improved knowledge regarding the proper and safe use of Amlodipine and Simvastatin and helped prevent side effects.
