    Medications are one of the most widely used therapeutic tools today, and their proper use allows the population to obtain enormous benefits. It should be noted that most people have little health education regarding the correct storage and disposal of medications. There is generally a custom of keeping leftover medications from prescribed treatments, which are then reused improperly without any control when similar symptoms appear, carrying the consequent risk of ineffectiveness, toxicity, or adverse effects. Therefore, this study was conducted with the objective of evaluating the habits related to medication management in households in the Mi Perú district, Callao, in 2021. Method: The deductive method was used through surveys of 213 residents of the Mi Perú district. Results: 40.4% of the respondents in the district had a fair level of storage and disposal management, while 33.3% did so improperly, and 26.3% had an adequate level. Conclusion: The population of the Mi Perú district has fair habits regarding the storage and disposal aspects of medication management.
