    The objective was to analyze the level of knowledge and attitudes toward self-medication with azithromycin among users visiting the Cruz de Chalpón Drugstore in Los Olivos in 2021. Methodology: The research used a non-experimental, cross-sectional, and descriptive design. The sample consisted of 385 users. A validated survey was applied, which included open-ended questions for the knowledge variable and a Likert-scale questionnaire for the attitude variable. Results: In general, participants showed a medium level of knowledge. Specifically, the knowledge level was medium for self-medication with azithromycin (42.6%), the consequences of self-medication with azithromycin (45.2%), bacterial resistance with azithromycin (42.3%), and knowledge level based on demographic data (50.0%). Furthermore, users' attitudes were unfavorable (80.3%). Conclusion: The research allowed for an analysis of users' knowledge and attitudes, which showed that they have a simultaneous medium level of knowledge and an unfavorable attitude toward self-medication with azithromycin.
