Abstract

Tujuan utama dari penelitian ini adalah memformulasi mikroenkapsulasi atenolol dengan penyalut HPMC menggunakan metode emulsifikasi penguapan pelarut. Dalan metode ini, HPMC dilarutkan dalam pelarut campuran methanol-diklorometana. Sedangkan atenolol dilarutkan ke dalam larutan HPMC. Dalam gelas lain dimasukkan paraffin cair. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rasio atenolol dan HPMC adalah 1:0,5; 1:1; dan 1:1,5 berturut-turut untuk masing-masing Formula (Formula I, II, III dan IV). Mikroenkapsulasi yang dihasilkan dievaluasi berdasarkan distribusi ukuran partikel dan senyawa aktif yang dilepaskan. Mikrokapsul memiliki distribusi ukuran partikel antara 212-2000 µm. Spektrofotmeter UV dalam metanol yang digunakan untuk mengukur konsentrasi senyawa aktif diperoleh 56,963 ± 17,589; 60,41 ± 1,0045; 60 dan 173 ± 1,0160 % untuk masing-masing Formula (Formula I, II, dan III). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa mikrokapsul dengan perbandingan atenolol dan HPMC 1:1,5 memiliki pelepasan zat aktif yang lebih baik. Kinetika atenolol yang dilepaskan dari mikrokapsul mengikuti persamaan Higuchi.

Abstract

The irrational use of antibiotics can endanger health by causing unwanted drug reactions, side effects, and drug resistance. This study aimed to analyze the patterns of antibiotic self-medication among university students. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Prima Indonesia University in October 2023. A total of 307 randomly selected students from various faculties (health science clumps and non-health science clumps) filled out questionnaires distributed via Google Forms. The collected data are then analyzed descriptively to obtain frequency and percentage data, which are then presented in the form of tables and narratives. The results showed that about 83.39% of respondents had used antibiotics before. Most respondents used antibiotics because they were easily available (43.36%) or because of their previous experience (36.72%). The most common conditions for antibiotic use were cough and cold (47.66%), and infections (23.05%). Most respondents used antibiotics based on doctor ’sor pharmacist’s recommendations (45.31%). The duration of antibiotic use was 1-3 days (61.72%), followed by 4-7 days (31.64%) and more than 7 days (6.64%). Antibiotics were purchased from pharmacies (83.20%). The most common reactions to the overuse of antibiotics were nausea and vomiting (40.23%) and headache (32.81%). Most respondents (53.13%) consulted a doctor or pharmacist if they experienced reactions to antibiotic overuse.
