Abstract

Medicine is defined as a material or mixture of materials used as a health effort. Medicines and herbal medicines can be said to be halal if they meet the critical points of halalness, including from the process of selecting materials to becoming finished drug products that will be used by patients, not using and coming into contact/contaminated with haram substances and getting a halal label issued by BPJPH (Halal Product Guarantee Agency). Indonesia is a country with a Muslim majority that needs consumer protection for drug products circulating in the market so that products with a halal label are needed. The aim is to find out the availability of halal herbal medicines at Pharmacy X. This research method is descriptive observational by collecting data on all herbal medicines by recording the name of the medicine and checking the halal label on the packaging. Data processing was carried out by creating a table and calculating the percentage of the number of herbal medicines labeled halal and non-halal which were available at Pharmacy X. The results of the study obtained 136 halal-labeled herbal medicines (91.89%) and 12 non-halal-labeled herbal medicines (8.11%) out of 148 herbal medicine items available at Pharmacy X. Herbal medicines can be classified as halal if the composition listed on the packaging does not contain any haram elements and has been registered with the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM).
