According to the data from Basic Health Research in 2013, the prevalence period of upper <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> respiratory tract infection (URTI) in Indonesia has reached approximately 25.0% of total population. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Poorly-treated URTI could lead to lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) such as pneumonia which <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> could cause death. At the Primary health center (Puskesmas) of Soreang URTI has the highest <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> incidence in November 2015 until Desember 2017. Consequenly, proper medication is required, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> and the appropriateness at medication can be asseed by studying the medication pattern. This <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> study used descriptive-observational method with cross sectional design using retrospective data. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> A total of 366 samples were calculated using Slovin’s formula, collected from 4,281 prescriptions <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> prescribed between January and December 2017. The data was analyzid using descriptive statistics. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The result showed that there were three types of drug mostly used, analgetic-antipyretic (28.38%), <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> mucolytic/expectorant (24.58%), and vitamin (21.75%). As for URTI, there were 13 drug <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> combinations with three most used combinations being mucolytic, antipyretic, and vitamin <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> (35.91%), antibiotic, mucolytic, antipyretic, and antihistamine (18.10%), mucolytic, antipyretic, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> antihistamine, and vitamin (16.32%). Tonsilitis had two medication patterns which were a <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> combination of antibiotic, antipyretic, and corticosteroid (70%), and combination of antibiotic, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> antipyretic, and vitamin (30%). Faringitis had two medication patterns which consisted of <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> combination of antipyretic, corticosteroid, and vitamin (75%), and combination of mucolytic, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> antipyretic, corticosteroid, and vitamin (25%). Meanwhile for tonsillopharyngitis only one <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> medication pattern in use, which was combination of mucolytic, antipyretic-analgetic, and <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> corticosteroid. The result suggest that medication pattern for URTI have been appropriate, but not <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> for tonsillitis, pharyngitis, dan tonsillopharyngitis. The further rewiew are required, whose result <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> could be beneficial for planning of the drug procurement. <br />
