Background: Drug compounding is a significant concern due to the emergence of various unwanted events, including pharmaceutical problems and drug interactions. Good Compounding Practice (GCP) provides detailed guidance on the proper compounding practices necessary for preparing drug formulations for human use. This study aims to assess the level of knowledge of pharmacists about GCP, the implementation of GCP in pharmacies in Samarinda City, and the relationship between pharmacists' knowledge of GCP and its implementation. Methods: This descriptive observational study was conducted using a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique employed was total sampling, resulting in a sample size of 120 respondents. Data analysis was performed using chi-square analysis to determine the correlation between the level of knowledge and the implementation of GCP among pharmacists. Results: The study revealed that pharmacists' knowledge of GCP was relatively good, with an average score of 81.91. The implementation of GCP in Samarinda City pharmacies was also found to be relatively good, with an average score of 77.91. However, there was no significant relationship between the level of knowledge and the implementation of GCP (P value = 0.896). The cross-tabulation of the Odd Ratio (OR) yielded a value of 0.992, indicating that a higher level of knowledge slightly reduces the risk of poor implementation of GCP among pharmacists. Conclusion: While pharmacists in Samarinda City demonstrate a good understanding of GCP and its implementation, this study found no significant correlation between their level of knowledge and the practical application of GCP in their daily work. Further research may be needed to explore other factors influencing the implementation of GCP in pharmacies.
