Public understanding of generic and patented drugs is often influenced by misconceptions, particularly the belief that generic drugs are inferior in quality compared to branded drugs. This situation highlights the importance of improving health literacy among adolescents so they can develop accurate knowledge about rational drug use. This community service activity aimed to improve adolescents’ knowledge about generic and patented drugs through multimedia-based interactive education using digital education media and interactive learning tools. The program was conducted at SMAU BPPT Zainul Hasan involving 21 students as participants. The implementation included preparation, educational intervention, and evaluation stages using pre-test and post-test questionnaires consisting of ten questions related to the basic concepts of generic and patented drugs. During the activity, the students demonstrated high enthusiasm, reflected in their active participation during discussions and question-and-answer sessions. The evaluation results indicated an improvement in students’ knowledge after the educational activity. The proportion of students categorized as having good knowledge increased from 66.7% in the pre-test to 81.0% in the post-test, indicating an increase of 14.3%. These findings suggest that multimedia-based interactive education can effectively improve adolescents’ understanding of generic and patented drugs. The activity also contributed to improving student’s health literacy and correcting misconceptions regarding the quality and safety of generic medicines. School-based digital health education programs can therefore serve as an important strategy to enhance adolescents’ health literacy related to rational drug use.
