To establish dosage recommendations in patients with end‐stage renal disease undergoing chronic haemodialysis, nifedipine kinetics were studied between and during haemodialysis sessions. In eight patients, during the interdialytic period, peak plasma concentrations of nifedipine (29‐332 ng/ml) were reached 0.5‐1.0 h after administration of a single 10 mg oral dose. Elimination half‐life and oral plasma clearance were respectively 2.6 +/‐ 0.5 h and 1 176 +/‐ 412 ml/min. Nifedipine plasma protein binding was decreased in uraemic patients (88.8 +/‐ 0.3% vs 94.4 +/‐ 0.1%) but not affected by haemodialysis. Removal by haemodialysis was low: the dialyser extraction ratio and the dialysis clearance were respectively 2.3 +/‐ 0.8% and 2.8 +/‐ 0.9 ml/min.

Rhodamine B is a synthetic dye used to dye the textile industry. Rhodamine B is presence in food can cause poisoning, skin irritation, lung irritation, eye irritation, throat irritation, nasal irritation, and cause liver damage if exposed to high concentrations. Samples taken from the red cake seller in the Antasari Banjarmasin market. This research is a descriptive study. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling. Rhodamine B on a method of identification of samples using Thin Layer Chromatography and Visible spectrophotometry. Samples were prepared using the absorption method wool. The resulting solution will be used as identification in Thin Layer Chromatography using silica gel GF 254 plates with a mobile phase of n-butanol : ethyl acetate : ammonia (10:4:5). Rhodamine B assay performed visible spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 544 nm.Results of identification were putri ayu cake, Apam cake, Kukus cake A, Bolu cake, Singkong cake, and Kukus cakes B, shows that 1 positive samples containing Rhodamine B is a Apam cake. After that, the assay of Rhodamine B was performed in the sample apam  cake and obtained for 0,4229 ± 0,1157 mg of Rhodamine B in 1 piece of red cake

The current pharmaceutical service has shifted its orientation from drug oriented to patient oriented with reference to pharmaceutical care. Pharmaceutical service activities are not limited to drug preparation and drug delivery to patients but pharmacy needs to interact or communication with the patient. The purpose of this study was to determine how is the relationship between knowledge and patient needs for drug information at Amandit Farma Pharmacy Banjarmasin. This type of research is descriptive analysis. Sampling was taken on March 9 - April 8, 2018 by giving questionnaires to 250 patients who redeemed the prescription at Amandit Farma Banjarmasin Pharmacy using systematic random sampling method according to exclusion and inclusion criteria. Data analysis using Chi Square 3x3.             Based on the results of this study can be known the relationship between knowledge and needs of patients on drug information at Amandit Farma Pharmacy in Banjarmasin is statistically meaningful

Hypertension is one of the main factors of coronary heart disease and stroke. The prevalence of hypertension in South Kalimantan Province occupied a second prevalence of 30,8%. Hypertension is a chronic disease that requires long-term treatment. Furthermore, long-term treatment of anti-hypertension patients also have the possibility of side effects that also affect the quality of life of patients. Uncontrolled blood pressure can aggravate the incidence of hypertension and develop into a more dangerous disease that affects the quality of life of patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the description of blood pressure and quality of life of outpatient hypertensive patients at RSUD Ulin Banjarmasin. This research was conducted by using survey method. Sampling was done by consecutive sampling method. Samples meeting the inclusion criteria were 61 patients. The sample inclusion criteria were outpatients ages 18-65 with hypertension diagnoses, and were willing to follow the study. Exclusion criteria were patients with uncooperative, illiterate and deaf conditions. Data collection was done by interviewing and filling out the EQ-5D questionnaire. Blood pressure data were taken from medical records. The data of the research are presented in descriptive form. Based on this research can be concluded that the value of systolic blood pressure and diastolic mean of research sample is 153,82 ± 17,62 and 86,16 ± 10,52 mmHg. The study sample was dominated by patients with level II hypertension (52,5%). Furthermore the quality of life of the average sample was dominated by the category of poor quality of life (73,8%).
