Respiratory tract disease is a common condition that can affect anyone regardless of age. Starting from relatively mild symptoms to alarming symptoms. Although some respiratory diseases are not life-threatening, they should not be taken lightly as they can cause serious complications. What often happens is that it is difficult for a patient to see a specialist doctor because of the limited number of respiratory specialists who cannot fully serve patients, so people often have difficulty if they want to consult directly. This triggers the habit of the community to treat complaints on their own with simple drugs bought freely at drugstores or pharmacies without knowing for sure the disease they suffer, as well as the length of waiting for queues, consultation fees that are quite expensive and not everyone has a short distance to the hospital prefer not to go to a specialist. Like other organs of the human body, breathing is also prone to various diseases. Respiratory organs will be disrupted and can even cause death. By using the Naïve Bayes method above, it is known that the diagnosis of respiratory disease is that the young female patient is diagnosed with a type of respiratory disease called Farangitis (P05) with a percentage of 47.44%.

Drug interaction is a change in the effect of a drug due to the presence of other drugs taken simultaneously, which will cause a decrease in the therapeutic effect of the drug and toxicity in the body can increase. Changes in drug effects due to drug interactions vary greatly between individuals because they are influenced by various factors such as dose, drug levels in the blood, route of drug administration, drug metabolism, duration of therapy and patient characteristics. The potential for drug interactions can occur, one of which is in patients who take a large number of drugs simultaneously or Polypharmacy. Therefore, this study is related to the problem of drug interactions that occur due to Polypharmacy Prescriptions from internal medicine specialists at One of the Pharmacies in Bandung City which really needs to be considered, especially by a pharmacist.
