    International organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), in collaboration with the Ministry of Health of Peru through the General Directorate of Medicines, Supplies and Drugs (DIGEMID) and the Multisectoral Group for the Fight against the Counterfeiting of Medicines (CONTRAFALME), have developed initiatives to eradicate the illegal trade and falsification of medicines. Within this framework, the present study aimed to enhance the knowledge of secondary school students regarding medicine falsification and the fight against illegal pharmaceutical trade. The research followed a descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional design. Active educational strategies were implemented during training sessions, and entry and exit tests were used to measure student comprehension. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was applied for validation, while the Wilcoxon non-parametric test for paired samples was used to compare results. Data were processed with SPSS v22. The results indicated a significant improvement in student knowledge. Prior to training, 28.8% of participants demonstrated a regular level of knowledge, while after training, 40.2% achieved a good level. These findings suggest that active educational interventions are effective in strengthening awareness and understanding of medicine falsification and illegal trade among secondary school students.
