    Since COVID-19 entered Peru, the increase in demand for medications caused shortages, poor availability, and price increases. Objective: To determine the availability and price of medications for the treatment of COVID-19 in pharmaceutical offices. Methodology: This was a descriptive study using a deductive method, a quantitative approach, an applied type, and a non-experimental, cross-sectional, prospective, observational design. The population consisted of 632 pharmaceutical offices, with a sample of 205 drugstores and pharmacies, which were surveyed. Results: Azithromycin 500 mg tablets (100.0%) and Paracetamol 500 mg tablets (100.0%) showed higher availability than Ivermectin 6 mg/mL oral liquid (94.1%) and Dexamethasone phosphate 4 mg/2mL injectable (94.6%). Hydroxychloroquine sulfate 400 mg (26.8%) showed POOR availability. The medication with the highest share of cost in its sale was Azithromycin 500 mg tablets (45.4%). Hydroxychloroquine sulfate 400 mg (50.7%) showed that cost has a smaller share in its sale. Conclusion: Pharmaceutical offices in the San Martín de Porres district showed, on average, GOOD availability of medications for COVID-19 treatment (83.1%), and it was determined that price is an important factor in the medication purchase decision.
