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.

Participación y farmacontaminación en los pobladores del distrito de San Isidro, Lima - 2024
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-09-04) Misaico Ruiz, Derek; Oyarce Alvarado, Elmer
The disposal of expired or unused medications, commonly originating in the home, usually ends up being flushed down the toilet, sink, or in a trash can with regular garbage. However, since it is a toxic waste, it would not be acceptable for it to have the same fate as regular garbage because it could cause soil and water contamination. Currently, this improper disposal of medications is causing great concern about the damage it could cause to the environment and public health.

La eliminación inadecuada de medicamentos en los hogares constituye un problema emergente de salud pública y ambiental, debido a la presencia de residuos farmacéuticos en el agua, el suelo y otros ecosistemas. En este contexto, el presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación entre la preservación del ecosistema y la conservación y eliminación de fármacos líquidos utilizados por los pobladores del Asentamiento Humano Edilberto Ramos, ubicado en el distrito de Villa El Salvador durante el año 2026. La investigación fue de enfoque cuantitativo, tipo básico, con diseño no experimental, transversal y correlacional. La población estuvo conformada por 335 pobladores, de los cuales se seleccionó una muestra de 179 participantes mediante muestreo probabilístico aleatorio simple. La recolección de datos se realizó mediante una encuesta estructurada basada en una escala de Likert de cinco niveles. Los datos fueron procesados utilizando el programa estadístico SPSS, aplicando estadística descriptiva y la prueba de correlación Rho de Spearman, debido a que los datos no presentaron distribución normal según la prueba de Kolmogorov-Smirnov. Los resultados evidenciaron que el 48,0 % de los participantes presentó un nivel alto de preservación del ecosistema, mientras que el 34,6 % presentó un nivel medio de conservación y eliminación de fármacos líquidos. Asimismo, se encontró una relación positiva y estadísticamente significativa entre ambas variables (rho = 0,107; p < 0,05). Se concluye que las prácticas de conservación y eliminación de fármacos líquidos en los hogares se relacionan significativamente con la preservación del ecosistema, evidenciando la necesidad de fortalecer estrategias de educación sanitaria y gestión adecuada de residuos farmacéuticos.
