A drug prescription profile is a list of drugs prescribed or required by a service and is one of the bases for preparing a pharmacy's drug planning. This study aims to ascertain the prescribing habits of a Yogyakarta pharmacy over the August–October 2024 period. The method used in this study is descriptive-observational. The population used in this study were all prescriptions for drug use at one of the pharmacies in Yogyakarta in August-October 2024. The type of data used in this research is secondary data, namely data taken directly from recipes by collecting observational data. The results of the study showed that the sample size was 168 recipes. Prescriptions with a treatment period of 5 to 10 days (75.60%), prescriptions utilizing 1-3 types of medication in a single recipe sheet, women (55.36%), and those over 60 (45.24%) are the most commonly prescribed demographics. The most frequently prescribed drug is an antihypertensive drug from the CCB dihydropyridine group, namely amlodipine (54.76%). Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the most frequently prescribed drug prescription by doctors is for hypertension patients with a single use, namely amlodipine. Prescribing the drug amlodipine as a single antihypertensive is considered quite effective in lowering blood pressure.
