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.

In Peru, there is currently inadequate management and information regarding the disposal of expired or unused medication waste in households. The objective was to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and the method of disposing of expired or unused medication waste in households in the Los Olivos district. The methodology was non-experimental, cross-sectional, and quantitative, and it was tested in 302 households. Results showed that 91.4% of households exhibited poor disposal practices for medication waste and had a low level of knowledge. Regarding public health, 92% had a high level of knowledge. In terms of pharmaceutical forms, 64.3% of households had poor disposal methods due to low knowledge, while 37.4% had a medium level of knowledge of medication waste storage and used good disposal methods. In conclusion, a significant proportion of the population lacks knowledge about the proper handling and disposal of expired or unused medications, which can have negative effects on the health and environment of the residents of the Los Olivos district.
