Abstract

Pharyngitis is an inflammation of the pharynx that is one of the causes of bacterial infection. Antibiotics are the primary choice of medicine for bacterial infections. The importance of evaluating the use of antibiotics in patients with pharyngitis can reduce the side effects of the drug and prevent the development of resistance. The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of antibiotics in patients with pharyngitis in Puskesmas Banda Sakti City Lhokseumawe quantitatively according to the Defined Daily Dose (DDD) method and qualitatively by the Gyssens method. This study is descriptive. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a time-limited sampling method. The measurement is a patient medical record from July 2021 to June 2022, with 89 samples obtained. The result showed that the quantitative use of antibiotics by the DDD method obtained antibiotics with the highest total DDD of 10.35 DDD/1000 patients, while the qualitative evaluation using the gyssens method for amoxicillin was classified as category IIIB because the gift was too short, cefadroxil was classified as category IVB because other antibiotics were safer, ciprofloxacin was classiefied as category V because it is not indicated. This study concludes that the use of antibiotics quantitatively using the DDD method found the highest total DDD was amoxicillin, while the evaluation of the use of antibiotics qualitatively classified inappropriate.
