Introduction: Oral antidiabetics and insulins are considered essential drugs. However, a lack of availability and affordability has been identified internationally. In the present work, a possible lack of affordability and availability of these medicines at the national level is evidenced. Thus providing a current overview that will give way to interventions to address the problem. Objective: To determine the affordability and availability of essential drugs for the treatment of DMT2 in pharmacies and drugstores in the public and private sectors, including those present in health centers and hospitals in Lima metropolitana during the months of May and June 2021. Method: Cross-sectional study, the data were extracted from the Observatorio Peruano de Productos Farmacéuticos, administered by the Dirección General de Medicamentos Insumos y Drogas. Results: Regarding availability, we have found optimal and acceptable levels for Glibenclamide and Metformin in their 850 mg and 1 g presentations, but not for the 500 mg presentations. While the insulins were found at unacceptable levels. Regarding affordability, only the 850 mg and 1 g metformin and the insulins showed acceptable and optimal ranges, while the rest of the drugs evaluated did not. Conclusions: There is evidence that the availability and affordability of the presentations of essential antidiabetic drugs according to the WHO is limited, but the presentations of antidiabetic drugs according to the Petitorio Nacional de Medicamentos Esenciales present a wider availability and greater affordability.
