(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-03-11) Cárdenas Carpio, Edith Reyna; Ramos Jaco, Antonio Guillermo
Previous studies indicate that self-medication is deeply rooted in the Peruvian population, in both urban and rural areas. This creates a major public health problem, stemming not only from the user but also from the person who uses and dispenses the medication. Objective: To determine the characterization of medications and self-medication in users of drugstores in the El Agustino district from September 2018 to February 2019. Materials and Methods: This was an observational, descriptive, prospective, and cross-sectional study. A 16-question form was used to collect information from the variables in a sample of 384 users across 100 drugstores (approximately 3.8 people per drugstore). Results: The gender with the highest rate of self-medication was male (54.7%). 70.6% did not have health insurance, 90% consumed anti-inflammatory drugs, and 59.1% had only a secondary education level. Self-medication was found in individuals lacking financial resources and knowledge, compounded by the inappropriate practice of pharmacy technicians recommending medication without a prescription. Conclusions: A self-medication prevalence of 57.8% was found among users of drugstores in the El Agustino district.

The study entitled "Impact of Advertising on the Consumption of Over-the-Counter Medications among Individuals Visiting Pharmaceutical Establishments on Avenida Alfonso Ugarte in Lima, 2024" aimed to determine how advertising influenced the consumption of over-the-counter (OTC) medications. This research was classified as basic and was based on a hypothetical-deductive approach, with a quantitative, non-experimental, correlational, and cross-sectional design. The results showed that 55.5% of the participants were between 26 and 46 years of age, and 60.7% were women. In addition, 38.2% had completed higher technical education, and 54.9% reported purchasing medications one to three times per month. A total of 61.8% of respondents indicated that internal factors influenced their purchasing decisions, while 35.3% stated that the medications they acquired were recommended by healthcare professionals. Notably, 71.7% of participants believed that pharmaceutical promotions affected their consumption decisions. The hypothesis analysis yielded p-values of 0.009 and 0.002, both below the 0.05 threshold, which led to the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho) and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H1), with a Spearman’s Rho value of 0.800, indicating a very strong correlation. In conclusion, there was a significant correlation between advertising and the consumption of over-the-counter medications.
