Objective: To determine the factors associated with the purchase of medicines without a prescription (PMWP) in the macro-regions of Peru in 2016. Methods: Secondary analysis of data from the 2016 National Health User Satisfaction Survey, which included 3 858 drugstore and pharmacy users. The factors associated were identified using crude (PR) and adjusted (aPR) prevalence ratio estimations, with 95% confidence intervals. Results: The frequency of PMWP was 75.8% at the national level, being higher in the East macro region (83.2%). Being male (aPR: 1.09), age group of 60 or more years (aPR: 0.86) and having completed technical studies at the highest educational level (aPR: 0.86) were associated with PMWP only in the South macro region. Occupation (being convalescing, retired or being a domestic worker; aPR: 1.67) was associated with the PMWP only in the South macro-region. The type of health insurance was associated with the PMWP only in the North [Comprehensive Health Insurance (aPR: 0.86), Social Security System (aPR: 0.87), and private insurance (aPR: 1.19)], Central macro region [Comprehensive Health Insurance (aPR: 0.86), Armed Forces or National Police of Peru insurance (aPR: 1.21), and affiliation to more than one insurance (aPR: 1.23)], and Metropolitan Lima [Comprehensive Health Insurance (aPR: 0.65)]. Purchasing antibiotics was associated with a decrease in the prevalence of PMWP in all macro regions [North (aRP:0.84); Central (aPR: 0.92); South (aPR: 0.88); East (aPR: 0.89)], except Metropolitan Lima macro region. The level of knowledge of the medication administration time was associated with a decrease in the prevalence of PMWP by up to 41% (high level, aPR: 0.60) in the North macro region. Purchasing of medicines for presenting respiratory symptoms was associated with PMWP only in the South (aPR: 1.21) and Metropolitan Lima (aPR: 1.16) macro regions. Conclusion: The factors associated with the PMWP were different in each macro region of Peru in 2016, therefore, it is strongly recommended to use local evidence during the implementation of strategies to reduce the PMWP.
