UNAIR Pharmacy Students Promote "Overcoming Muscle Pain Challenge"

Everyone must have experienced muscle pain, from mild to severe scale muscle pain. The community also has a variety of ways to deal with muscle pain experienced, from massaging to using drugs. However, there are still many people who do not know how to use muscle pain medicine appropriately, one of which is the use of patches, people often forget to release the patches that are used, even though there is no longer any effect of heat given.

Departing from this problem, Monday November 25, Students of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Airlangga conducted a health promotion regarding to the proper management of muscle pain through the "Overcoming Muscle Pain Challenge" at the Health Service Center (PLK) of Universitas Airlangga. The group, which was chaired by Ni'matul Khoiriyyah, provided education on the management of muscle pain through a video that they had uploaded on YouTube entitled "Education of Muscle Pain", with the hope that the public could access the video later. The video contained a reminder to the public about the principle of "DAGUSIBU" in using external pain medicine.

After watching the video, the public was invited to play "Overcoming Muscle Pain Challenge". The public was given a quiz of 5 questions. If they were able to answer 3 questions correctly, then they were given the opportunity to throw arrows at the puzzle body describing the muscles that are often painful. While shooting an arrow into the correct body part, the public was entitled to a prize.

One of the participants of this program was Liliana, she revealed that this program was very interesting and informative. She also said that this health promotion can provide additional insights while waiting in line at the Health Care Center. She also hoped that similar programs would be held in the future.
