    The present research aimed primarily to describe self-medication with antibiotics among workers of the commercial centers adjacent to Parque Alameda de las Malvinas in Cercado de Lima, 2018. This was a descriptive, observational, cross-sectional, and prospective study. The sample consisted of 370 workers. A total of 95.1% of the workers reported self-medicating with antibiotics. Respiratory, urinary, and skin infections were the main conditions leading to higher rates of self-medication with antibiotics (65.3%); the most frequently used subtypes were penicillins (34.7%) and quinolones (23.6%). The factors influencing self-medication included lack of health insurance (79.3%), lack of time to visit a physician (70.7%), and reliance on pharmacy staff as a source of information (47.4%). Furthermore, the study found that workers demonstrated a deficient level of knowledge regarding self-medication with antibiotics (67.6%) and bacterial resistance (96.9%).
