Abstract

Hypertensive patients are often given combination therapy according to the patient's condition, the drugs used have a high risk of potential drug interactions. The aim of this research is to determine potential drug-drug interactions and associated factors on ambulatory patients with hypertension of a secondary care hospital in Bandar Lampung. This research is a cross-sectional study. Data were collected from patient’s medical records. Evaluation of potential drug-drug interactions refers to Drugs.com. The associated factors are analyzed by Chi-Square test. Of the 135 prescriptions, there are 90 (66,67%) prescriptions that have the potential for drug-drug interactions. Potential drug-drug interactions based on severity levels are major (6,88%), moderate (72,10%) and minor (21,01%). Bivariate statistical analysis showed that there was an influence of age and number of medications on potential drug-drug interactions.
