Abstract

In Indonesia, traditional medicines are grouped into three types, namely traditional medicines (herbs, imported traditional medicines, licensed traditional medicines), standardized herbal medicines (OHT) and phyto-pharmacy. There are three types of logos with their respective criteria for grouping traditional medicines or natural medicines from Indonesia. The three kinds of traditional medicine logos are the herbal medicine logo, the OHT logo and the fitofarmaka logo. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of knowledge of Imelda University students about the logo on the packaging of traditional medicines. This research is a descriptive survey research and is cross-sectional in nature, namely research that aims to describe the phenomena found at one time and once, both in the form of risk factors and effects or outcomes. Pharmacy students have good knowledge of 84.6% compared to non-pharmaceutical students who have good knowledge of 34.6% about logos on traditional medicine packaging. This is because students in the pharmaceutical field better understand and learn things related to health sciences including information about logos on traditional medicine packaging. Based on research data, it can be concluded that the origin of the study program affects the level of knowledge of the respondents (students), while age, gender, and place of origin did not affect the level of knowledge of the respondents.
