[Prevalence and factors associated with over-the-counter antimicrobial purchases, Peru 2016].

CONCLUSIONS: A 53.4% of drugstore/pharmacy users, who bought antimicrobials, did so without a doctor's prescription. The prevalence of CASRM was higher in the highlands and jungle and in pharmacy users, as well as lower in those who had SIS and those who bought for their spouse or child. We suggest reinforcing the interventions, mainly regulatory and educational, in the highlands and in the jungle, as well as, in the population not affiliated to a health insurance.
