    This research focused on the prescription, availability, and dispensing practices of antimicrobials in pharmacies and drugstores in the district of Independencia, DISA V – Lima, September 2014. The study was descriptive, cross-sectional, and retrospective, and data were collected through a dispensing/care form that recorded information about antimicrobials prescribed according to patients’ conditions. Results showed that 67.13% of prescribed antimicrobials were included in the National List of Essential Medicines, but only 41.71% were prescribed using their International Nonproprietary Name, a value below the expected target. Additionally, 23.48% of antimicrobials were substituted at the time of dispensing. The evaluation of treatment parameters indicated that dosage (87.85%), frequency of administration (88.67%), and treatment duration (88.95%) were outside the expected range. In pharmacies and drugstores, 23.48% of antimicrobials were replaced due to lack of availability or recommendation of alternatives, and only 67.13% of dispensed antimicrobials corresponded to the National List of Essential Medicines. These findings reveal shortcomings in antimicrobial prescribing and dispensing practices, underscoring the need for improved compliance with national guidelines to ensure safe and rational use of medicines.
