Vol. 11 No. 1 (2025): Jurnal Ilmiah Medicamento

Jurnal Ilmiah Medicamento Volume 11 Issue 1 (March 2025) presents peer-reviewed original research and review articles focusing on the advancement of pharmaceutical sciences, biomedical research, and the application of natural products in healthcare. This issue reflects a multidisciplinary approach integrating clinical pharmacy, pharmaceutical technology, microbiology, and community health education.

Several articles address therapeutic practices and medicine use in healthcare settings, including the utilization of opioids for pain management, factors associated with length of hospital stay in dengue hemorrhagic fever patients, and the effectiveness of educational interventions in improving community knowledge on self-medication and drug disposal. These studies contribute to improving the quality of pharmaceutical care and patient safety.

Research on natural products and bioprospecting highlights the pharmacological potential of terrestrial and marine resources, including seaweed, mangrove-derived materials, medicinal plants, and marine fungi. Experimental in vitro and in vivo approaches are applied to evaluate antibacterial, antioxidant, topical analgesic, cholesterol-lowering, and oxidative stress–modulating activities, supporting scientific validation of bioactive natural resources.

This issue also includes review articles addressing analytical methods for chemical characterization of electronic cigarette liquids and evidence-based management of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. These reviews provide comprehensive insights into analytical, therapeutic, and public health–related challenges. Overall, this edition contributes to strengthening the scientific foundation and relevance of pharmaceutical research in clinical and applied contexts.
