Antibiotic Drugs Socialization during the COVID-19 Pandemic Period in Desa Mudalang
Main Article Content
Abstract
Antibiotics are a group of drugs used to treat and prevent bacterial infections. This drug works by killing and stopping bacteria from multiplying in the body. Antibiotics cannot be used to treat viral infections, such as the flu. Basically, bacterial infections that are classified as mild can heal on their own, so that antibiotics are unnecessary. However, when the bacterial infection does not improve, the doctor can prescribe antibiotics properly. Given the importance of antibiotics, it needs to be socialized to the public. The method used is in three stages, namely the planning stage, the implementation stage, and the evaluation stage. This community service activity is carried out in Desa Mudalang. The benefits of this socialization are to increase knowledge and reduce the use of antibiotic drugs that are not properly used by the surrounding community. In the activities carried out, not all residents get socialization due to the limited human resources in our group and one of the problems for us is that the village is too large. The source of funds is another problem, we got limited funding to do the community service. We carry out door-to-door socialization because the COVID-19 Pandemic was not over yet.
