    Currently, the population has been affected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, also known as COVID-19, which became a pandemic. The objective of this study was "To determine the factors associated with the self-medication of ivermectin for COVID-19 among people aged 18 to 60 in the district of Carmen de la Legua Reynoso, Callao 2021." Methodology: The study was quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, and non-experimental, involving 380 residents. Data collection was carried out using a survey and a Likert scale questionnaire. Results: The 40-59 age group (38.3%) presented a high level of self-medication, and 19.1% exhibited high behavioral levels of self-medication. Young people (8.2%) and housewives presented high behavioral levels of self-medication. Among those who stated they acquire their medicine from a drugstore or pharmacy, the percentage of residents with high behavioral levels of self-medication was 14.5%. The most frequent attitudinal level of self-medication among young people aged 19-29 years was medium (41.5%). The private healthcare system had the lowest percentage of residents with high attitudinal levels of self-medication (12.8%). Conclusion: Self-medication with ivermectin for COVID-19 is associated with age and the place of acquisition. The behavioral aspect of self-medication is associated with age, occupation, and place of acquisition. The attitudinal aspect of self-medication with ivermectin for COVID-19 is associated with both age and the healthcare system.
