    Objective: To relate the level of knowledge to the self-medication practices for COVID-19 among the residents of the Enrique Montenegro Community in the San Juan de Lurigancho District, Lima, 2022. Method: The study was based on a non-experimental, cross-sectional design, with a quantitative approach and descriptive level. An assisted survey was applied to 202 residents of the Enrique Montenegro community in the district. Results: A significant relationship was evidenced between the level of knowledge and self-medication practices (x² = 0.001), leading to the acceptance of the research hypothesis, which demonstrates the relationship between the variables. Furthermore, moderate levels predominated for the level of knowledge (f = 101; 50.0%) and self-medication practices (f = 116; 57.4%). Additionally, moderate levels predominated in the dimensions of general knowledge of medications (f = 147; 72.8%), knowledge of the effects of medications (f = 105; 52.0%), factors conditioning medication (f = 83; 41.1%), and a predominance of low levels in the practices of self-medication behavior (f = 83; 41.1%). Conclusion: The level of knowledge is related to self-medication practices, meaning that an increase in knowledge leads to an increase in self-medication practices.
