Self-medication is the treatment performed by patient for diseases that are self-recognized using medicines that are considered safe and effective without any diagnosis and prescription by professionals. Excessive practice of self-medication will have negative effects for the patient such as excessive drug abuse, delay in getting medical treatment, etc. This students’ community service aimed to socialize responsible self-medication practices to the community in RW.04, Meruya Utara, West Jakarta by using family medicinal plants.

Participants' understanding was evaluated by using a questionnaire filled out before and after the activities. The data obtained from the questionnaire showed that the participants have better understanding in practicing self-medication by using family medicinal plants with the understanding level of >70%.
