    Introduction: Antimicrobials are the cornerstone in the treatment of infectious diseases. However, their inappropriate use by prescribers (physicians), dispensers (pharmacists), or patients increases antimicrobial resistance and reduces the effectiveness of available drugs. The consequences of irrational antimicrobial use are clinical, ecological, and economic, contributing to high morbidity and mortality. Objective: To determine the characteristics of prescription, availability, and dispensing of antimicrobials in pharmacies and drugstores in the district of Santa Anita – DISA IV – Lima Este, August 2014. Methodology: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted using dispensing/care forms to collect data regarding antimicrobials administered to patients according to their illnesses. The study was applied to 4 pharmacies (5%) and 83 drugstores (95%) in Santa Anita district, totaling 87 pharmaceutical establishments. The objective was to assess the proportion of antimicrobials dispensed and their compliance with medical prescriptions. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22 and Microsoft Excel 2010. Results: Among prescribed antimicrobials, 60% were indicated by International Nonproprietary Name (INN), 82% belonged to the National List of Essential Medicines (PNUME), and 82% were completely dispensed. Additionally, 88% of antimicrobials were dispensed correctly according to the medical prescription. Conclusion: The study determined that in pharmacies and drugstores of Santa Anita – DISA IV, Lima Este (August 2014), 60% of antimicrobials were prescribed by INN, 82% corresponded to the PNUME, and the oral route was the most prescribed pharmaceutical form. Moreover, the majority of antimicrobials were fully and correctly dispensed.
