The objective was to evaluate the relationship between the level of knowledge and attitude regarding household medication disposal practices in the San Juan de Miraflores district. Methodology: This was a hypothetical-deductive study with a quantitative approach, an applied type, and a non-experimental, observational, cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 385 households, selected by probabilistic sampling. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire for knowledge and a Likert scale for attitude. Both instruments were validated by expert judgment and deemed reliable (KR-20 = 0.676 and Cronbach's α = 0.784). Results: 48.3% had a medium level of knowledge. A significant difference was found between the level of knowledge and age, educational level, and profession or occupation (p<0.05). 93.2% had a positive attitude, and this was significantly correlated with sex and educational level (p<0.05). Finally, a relationship exists between the level of knowledge and attitude toward medication disposal practices (p=0.000 and contingency coefficient 0.345). Conclusion: A relationship exists between the level of knowledge and attitude toward medication disposal practices in households in the San Juan de Miraflores district, demonstrating that a higher level of knowledge leads to a more positive attitude.
