Hand sanitizers may help increase hand hygiene compliance as the results of invailability of basic needs for cleaning such as soap or water. Since alcohol has an irritating effect on the skin and burns quickly, it is currently discouraged as an active ingredient. Knowledge of covid 19 is critical for the world to have in order for individuals to be able to make informed choices on how to split the covid 19 transmission chain. This thesis employs a pre-experimental method that employs the One Group Pretest-Posttest Design approach. The paired t test was used to examine the relationship between the two variables, namely the betel leaf extract handsanitizer output preparation and the respondent's knowledge of the handsanitizer making process. Extension has an impact on increasing respondents' awareness of how to make natural hand sanitizers. The paired t-test findings indicate that the Sig. = 0.000 0.05, indicating that there is a discrepancy between the pretest and posttest. With a mean value of -5.967, this data indicates the average discrepancy between the pretest and posttest, with a range of -5.383 to -6.551 (95 percent CI), indicating that there is a difference between the pretest and posttest mean values, indicating that the pretest value has an influence on the post test. To stop the spread of Covid19, health care providers and the society must work together.
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) has many complications, such as microvascular and macrovascular complications. Patients are given polypharmacy therapy to combat these issues, which can cause drug interactions. Oral antidiabetic drugs were chosen based on their risk profile. Risk assessment aided treatment intensity targeting. The number of drugs taken can increase the risk of drug interactions causing health issues. Objective: To identify potential drug interactions based on their severity (major, moderate and minor) and the mechanism of the drug interaction (pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics), in type two diabetes mellitus patients with comorbidities at the Lamongan Health Center. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study using medical records and patient prescriptions from October 2020 to June 2021 at Puskesmas (Primary Health Centers) Deket, Karanggeneng, and Babat. The data were descriptively analysed. Drug interactions were analysed using drugs.com and Stockley. Purposive sampling was used to select 194 patients for inclusion. Results: From October 2020 to June 2021, 110 out of 194 outpatients at Lamongan Regional Health Center had potential drug interactions (56.7 %). The most common type of drug interaction was of moderate severity, with 120 cases (93.0%), and the most common mechanism was pharmacodynamics (61.2%). Conclusion: Polypharmacy is a difficult problem to avoid, so drug therapy monitoring is required in diabetic patients to minimise unwanted effects. Preventing potential drug interactions requires a system for early detection of potential drug interactions that may occur in patient prescribing and maximising pharmaceutical care. This system would allow for the community to be more proactive in finding out about potential drug interactions.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (anti-inflammatory) drugs, or better known as NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) or NSAIDs are a group that has analgesic (pain reliever), anti-pyretic (fever) properties. to determine the level of knowledge on the use of NSAIDs as anti-pain in cases of dysmenorrhea in the University of Muhammadiyah Lamongan. The research design used in this research is descriptive, in taking the sample using the total sampling technique. Collecting data by distributing questionnaires with data analysis presented in tabular form. The results of this study indicate that of the 266 respondents, almost all respondents know about knowledge of dysmenorrhea well (83.8%). In the results of this study, there were still respondents who did not know the proper use of NSAIDs as analgesic. So in this case the role of pharmaceutical personnel is needed in providing information or education to people who consume NSAIDs, in order to achieve a quality of life for the community and avoid unwanted therapeutic responses.

COVID-19 can occur at any ages, so it requires awareness to break the chain of this infection,including:Social Distancing, hand hygiene, wearing masks, and consuming multivitamins as needed. This activity on March 2020.There are still many people who have low awareness like do not wear masks when they leave the house.Therefore, our team made a hand sanitizer based on the WHO formula and distributed a 'siaga kit' to residents of the Lamongan community as a form of concern for COVID-19. Our team consists of Pharmacy lecturers, Laboratory Assistants and Pharmacy students at the Muhammadiyah University of Lamongan. Students are given education about the objectives and procedures for making handsanitizers. Furthermore, students' knowledge and understanding about making Handsanitizer was measured by giving a questionnaire to evaluate the knowledge of Handsanitizer making. The result of the handsanitizer making training was that students had a good understanding of the procedures for making handsanitizers. The activity of distributing 'siaga kit' to the Lamongan community also received a very good response.
