This study aims to determine patterns of use of antituberculosis drugs and evaluate the appropriateness of the use of antituberculosis drugs based on the National Guidelines for TB Control by the Indonesian Ministry of Health in 2014 and to determine the relationship between age, sex and length of treatment for patient treatment results in Puskesmas Batu Aji Batam City.This research is a kind of non-experimental descriptive analysis research conducted retrospectively by collecting data from medic records in January-December 2018. The results of the study showed that all patients received FDC treatment (fixed dose combination). Patients who received category 1 tuberculosis therapy were 47 patients and category 2 patients were 2 patients. Evaluation of TB treatment in patients shows that category 1 and category 2 treatment have met the compliance with the 2014 Ministry of Health National Guidelines for TB Control.
