    Storage is a relevant element to ensure that medicines preserve their physicochemical characteristics and maintain their therapeutic efficacy. The objective was to evaluate the level of knowledge about home storage of medicines among older adults during the pandemic, Callao 2021, in its three dimensions: temperature, humidity, and light exposure. The methodology was descriptive, applied, with a quantitative approach, non-experimental cross-sectional design, and involved the participation of 191 older adults through the application of a previously validated questionnaire via Google Forms. Results: The evaluation of the level of knowledge considering environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and light exposure showed the following results: the level of knowledge about the storage temperature of medicines was medium (60.2%); the level of knowledge about conservation humidity was high (50.8%); and the level of knowledge about light exposure of medicines was high (64.9%). On average, a medium level (49.7%) was found. Conclusion: The level of knowledge about home storage of medicines among the older adult population during the pandemic, Callao 2021, was medium, with 49.7%.
