| Summary: | In order to fulfill the needs of medicine supply as well as to guarantee its
stability in the society, the government commits to have a revitalization to the
policy of generic medicine through the Regulation of Health Ministry of Indonesia
number HK. 02.02/MENKES/068/I/2010 about The Compulsory of Using
Generic medicine in all government health centers. This research aimed to
recognize the implementation of the policy that encouraged medics to use generic
medicine in three government public type-B hospitals throughout former
Surakarta residency.
This is a descriptive research by applying the combination of qualitative
and quantitative data. The quantitative data were taken from the quantity of
generic medicine in formulary and prescription form in pharmacy outpatient and
inpatient on July � September 2010. The qualitative data were taken from the
result of interview to the Head of Pharmacy and Treatment Committee and the
Head of Pharmacy Office in three hospitals located in the former Surakarta
residence. The sample for this research was taken in a proportionate stratified
random sampling method. The decision to have number of sample was done based
on Solvin Formula, with 95% of probability (� = 0,05). The quantitative data was
served in the table form to see a change visually. The qualitative data was served
textually, as the support for the quantitative data.
From the research result, it could be concluded that not all of medicine that
were stored in formulary was a generic one (with the percentage of 33,81%), the
stored medicine in formulary was not appropriate with The Regulation of Health
Ministry (with the percentage of 75, 47%), medicine in formulary had not been
maximally used (the percentage of generic medicine that was mentioned in
prescription based on formulary was 74, 02%, the percentage of medical store
service to the supply of generic medicine was 97, 52%, the percentage of generic
medicine that was written as a branded medicine in formulary was 14, 26%), the
attitude of making a prescription on generic medicine has not applied maximally
yet (with the percentage of 80, 67%), almost all of generic medicine within
hospitals was underserved (with the percentage of 0,30 % for generic medicine
that later changed into a branded one and 0,32 % that was not available at all), a
branded medicine that was written in the prescription had not been substituted into
a generic one (with the percentage of 8, 81% for those which had already been
converted into generic). An obstacle in the realization of government policy about
the use of generic medicine in the public type B hospitals from all former
Surakarta residency was related to the passiveness of Pharmacy Committee and
Therapy in making a socialization and in revising formulary in order to make it
more appropriate with the government policy about the use of generic medicine.
