DIRIS Lima Sur Requires Secure Storage for Controlled Substances

October 28, 2026 Dr. Michael Lee – Health Editor Health

Pharmacies and drugstores operating within the Lima Sur jurisdiction must establish dedicated, secured areas for controlled substances under a directive issued October 27, 2026, by the Dirección de Medicamentos, Insumos y Drogas of the Dirección de Redes Integradas de Salud Lima Sur (gob.pe).

    Key Clinical Takeaways:

  • Controlled medications including narcotics and psychotropics require strictly separated storage areas under current health regulations.
  • Technical directors and pharmaceutical chemists bear direct custody responsibility for these regulated inventories.
  • DIRIS Lima Sur officials announced that compliance will be actively verified through sanitary control and surveillance actions.

Mandatory Storage Protocols for Controlled Substances

Pharmacies handling narcotics, psychotropics, precursors, and products containing these substances must comply with the Manual de Buenas Prácticas de la Oficina Farmacéutica, gob.pe reported. Regulations require that such products stay secured in designated areas separated, equipped, delimited, and identified to prevent product confusion or contamination.

Establishments must describe these security measures inside their specific operational procedures. Custody remains the direct responsibility of the technical director or pharmaceutical chemist in charge of the facility, according to the regulatory agency.

Officials stated these requirements will be evaluated during sanitary control and surveillance operations within the agency’s jurisdiction.
