    Introduction: In Peru, the World Health Organization has estimated that more than 50% of all medications are prescribed and dispensed inappropriately, and 50% of patients take them incorrectly. The Objective of this research was to identify the rational use of medicines (RUM) in patients of the Comprehensive Health Insurance (SIS) at the Ganímedes Health Center in San Juan de Lurigancho from October–December. Method: A descriptive, observational, cross-sectional, and prospective study was conducted. The sample consisted of 334 patients. The instrument used was a 16-question survey, which was submitted to expert judgment by pharmaceutical chemists from Norbert Wiener University for validation.
