Responsible medicine use is an essential aspect of maintaining the health and safety of individuals and families. However, medicine-use practices require further improvement through health literacy and an adequate ethical foundation. This article aims to analyze responsible medicine use from an Islamic perspective, particularly by integrating the principles of rational medicine use with Islamic values in family life. This study employed a qualitative approach through a literature review. Data were obtained from relevant scholarly sources and documents addressing rational medicine use, patient safety, health literacy, and Islamic ethical principles. The data were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively through information selection, thematic categorization, source comparison, and narrative synthesis. The findings indicate that responsible medicine use encompasses appropriate medication practices, adherence to healthcare professionals’ instructions, understanding medicine-related information, using antibiotics only when indicated, and proper medicine storage and disposal. From an Islamic perspective, these practices are consistent with the principles of hifz al-nafs (preservation of life), prevention of harm, pursuit of knowledge, trustworthiness, and avoidance of excess. Families play a strategic role in developing safe medicine-use habits through education, communication, and informed decision-making. This study concludes that integrating Islamic values with the principles of rational medicine use provides a conceptual foundation for strengthening family health literacy. Further empirical research is needed to examine the effects of this approach on medicine-use behavior and patient safety.
