Currently, there is inadequate management in Peru regarding the disposal of expired or unused medications in households. Faced with this problem, this study was carried out with the objective of determining the methods of disposal for unused and/or expired medications in households in the Chorrillos district from May to October 2020. The research methodology is non-experimental and cross-sectional, with a quantitative and descriptive approach. For this, surveys were conducted in 291 households in the Chorrillos district. Results showed that the two main reasons for medication disposal are expiration date and being unused, collectively representing 87.7%. The chosen place for disposal is the trash can (89.7%). Regarding disposal practices, only 17.8% properly dispose of liquid medications, and 18.2% properly dispose of solid medications. In conclusion, a large part of the population is unaware of the proper management and final disposal of unused and expired medications, which can negatively affect the environment and the health of the residents of the Chorrillos district.

The purpose of this thesis was to determine how educational intervention is related to the disposal of pharmaceutical waste in the households of VIII and IX cycle students of Pharmacy and Biochemistry at Norbert Wiener Private University. Methodology: Quantitative approach, applied type, non-experimental design, and correlational level. Group A consisted of 44 students, while Group B, which received the educational intervention, consisted of 51 students. Overall, 46.3% were from the eighth cycle and 53.7% from the ninth cycle. Results: Based on the p value from Fisher’s exact test, it is affirmed that educational intervention is related to the disposal of pharmaceutical waste. Conclusion: After the post-test, it was determined that 82.4% of students in Group A, who received the educational intervention, achieved a highly appropriate method of pharmaceutical waste disposal, surpassing Group B. This demonstrated a significant relationship between educational intervention and students’ disposal practices (Cramer’s V = 0.761).
