Traditionally, daun ungu plant (Graptophyllum pictum (L) Griff) has been known to have pharmacological effects that can help with a variety of health issues. This plant’s flavonoid compounds content is thought to have diuretic activity in this plant is believed to have activity. The purpose of this study is to determine the diuretic activity and optimal dose of etanol extract of 70% daun ungu administered orally to male white mice. This is an experimental study with a completely randomized design (CRD) that includes 1 negative control group (Na.CMC 0.5%), 1 positive control group (furosemide 40 mg) and 3 test groups of 70% daun ungu ethanol extract doses of 10 mg/kg BW, 25 mg/kg BW and 40 mg/kg BW with urine volume test parameters. One-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis statistical test were used to analyze the data. The results showed that one-way ANOVA revealed a P < 0.05 (0.012), and P ≤ 0.05 (0.051) for the Kruskal-Wallis test. It can be concluded that 70% daun ungu etahanol exctract has effective diuretics, with an optimal dose of 40mg/Kg BW providing an effect twice as large as the positive control (furosemide 40 mg).
The quality of health services is still not optimal, especially in terms of patient dissatisfaction with drug services at pharmacies. A more efficient system can be built only if the waiting time evaluation has been carried out at pharmacies that provide drug prescriptions for patients. This study aims to evaluate the waiting time for prescription services at pharmacies to achieve patient satisfaction with drug services at pharmacies. In this study, Angkasa Farma's pharmacy became the subject of evaluation. The study was conducted with an observational design using descriptive analysis. The waiting time data obtained were then analyzed descriptively and compared with the minimum service standard of waiting time, this is for two types of drugs (prepared drugs and compound drugs). The results of the study based on a sample of 100 recipes and 100 non-concoction recipes are the number of recipes that meet the standards for prescription recipes as many as 37 recipes and for non-concoction recipes as many as 95 recipes. The average waiting time for concoction recipe services is 41.47 minutes and the average waiting time for non-concoction prescription services is 21.29 minutes. The average waiting time for non-concoction prescription services has met the standard, while the waiting time for blended prescription services has not met the standards according to the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia.
