Self-medication is a self-treatment practice commonly performed by the community to manage minor health problems, one of which is cough. The use of cough medicine without adequate knowledge may lead to inappropriate drug use, therapeutic failure, and adverse effects. This study aimed to determine the level of knowledge and behavior of mothers toward self-medication of cough medicine and to analyze the relationship between these variables. This study employed a descriptive analytic design with a cross-sectional approach conducted at Raeja Farma Pharmacy, Ubud in 2025. The sample consisted of 107 respondents selected using an accidental sampling technique. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that most respondents had a moderate level of knowledge (44.9%) and good knowledge (34.6%), as well as good self-medication behavior (59.8%). The statistical analysis indicated a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and self-medication behavior of cough medicine (p = 0.023). In conclusion, the level of knowledge is associated with selfmedication behavior, where improved knowledge contributes to more appropriate self-medication practices. It is recommended to improve education from health professionals, especially pharmacists, in providing comprehensive information regarding self-medication of cough medicine.
