Abstract
El objetivo de la presente investigación fue caracterizar el consumo de analgésicos en los clientes de la Botica Vitalifepharma de El Tambo, 2025. La metodología utilizada fue de enfoque cuantitativo, nivel descriptivo y diseño no experimental. La muestra estuvo conformada por 109 participantes seleccionados mediante muestreo probabilístico, a quienes se aplicó una encuesta estructurada. Los resultados evidenciaron que el 69.7% de los encuestados fueron mujeres, mientras que el 40.4% pertenecía al rango de edad de 18 a 28 años y el mismo porcentaje contaba con estudios superiores. Asimismo, el 69.7% adquiría analgésicos de manera frecuente y el 65.1% los consumía sin receta médica. Respecto al uso inadecuado, el 40.4% manifestó haber presentado efectos secundarios y el 24.8% incrementó la dosis con el tiempo. Se concluye que existe un elevado consumo y automedicación con analgésicos, lo que representa un riesgo para la salud de los consumidores.
