The objective of this study was to identify dispensing errors made by pharmacy technicians due to the absence of a Pharmaceutical Chemist in pharmaceutical establishments in the district of San Juan de Lurigancho. The study was descriptive with a correlational level, considering inclusion and exclusion criteria. Chi-square was used to evaluate the probability of a discrepancy equal to or greater than that existing in the data, along with a Pareto diagram. A total of 385 users from the areas of Las Flores and Zarate were surveyed. The absence of the Pharmaceutical Chemist was identified in 32.2% of cases, primarily due to personal reasons (59.4%) and scheduling issues (17.6%). Regarding dispensing errors, 19.7% failed to indicate frequency and dosage, 19.5% failed to explain proper storage methods, 19.3% failed to advise checking expiration dates, and 18.0% failed to emphasize following the doctor's instructions. The Pareto diagram identified these four main errors, which accounted for 76.5% of all errors. Additionally, it was estimated that when the Pharmaceutical Chemist is present, 12.9% fail to provide the correct pharmaceutical form, while this percentage increases to 34.9% in their absence (p-value = 0.000), indicating a significant difference in the proportion of this error when the Pharmaceutical Chemist is absent. Conclusion: The absence of the Pharmaceutical Chemist contributes to dispensing errors, which can further deteriorate the quality of life of patients.
