    Objective: To analyze the characteristics of counterfeit medications reported in sanitary alerts issued by General Directorate of Medicines, Supplies, and Drugs in Peru (DIGEMID) between 2019 and 2023, based on ATC codes, pharmaceutical forms, and product name classification. Methodology: This is a basic research study with a deductive approach and a non-experimental, descriptive design. The population was finite, and the sample consisted of 100 DIGEMID alerts. Results: It was observed that in 2022, 36% of the alerts were registered, while in 2019 and 2020 only 9.0% were recorded; 16% of the falsified medicines belonged to group "L", compared to 2.0% for groups "B" and "C". The most frequently falsified pharmaceutical form was tablets at 24.4%, followed distantly by aerosols at 6.9%. Regarding the correlation analyses, Spearman's Rho showed very high and positive relationships (Rho between 0.785 and 0.898) that were significant (p ≤ 0.004) between variables such as falsified medicines and ATC codes, pharmaceutical forms, brand names, and the increasing trend of alerts. The null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected in all cases. Conclusion: Counterfeit medicines reported in health alerts issued by DIGEMID between 2019 and 2023 do occur more frequently in certain ATC codes and pharmaceutical forms.
