    The objective of the present study was to determine the relationship between socioeconomic factors and the self-medication of azithromycin during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Zapallal area, Puente Piedra district, Lima, 2021. The methodology applied was the hypothetical-deductive method, within an applied research framework, with a quantitative approach, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational level design. Data were collected through a 16-item questionnaire. The sample consisted of 240 individuals of both sexes. Results showed that 90.4% reported self-medicating with azithromycin, of which 62.1% were female, 53.3% had a technical level of education, 60% had dependent employment, 48.3% had medium or low wealth levels, 40.4% were cohabiting, and 80.8% lived in urban areas.
