The analysis of the medication in urine depends on the time of obtaining the sample and the last ingestion of the medicine and constitutes a direct proof of the taking of medicines. Like any measure, it has certain limitations: it can be used only in certain types of drugs that can be metabolized and subsequently excreted; the pharmacokinetics of the drug must be known; it is a static measure; the method of analysis must be standardized; and the interpretation of the data must take into account each individual, since different patients have different metabolisms and variability in excretion. In addition, urine samples would be unusable after 24 hours. It may be a biased measure of the patient's medication taking behavior, as the results refer to the days prior to urine collection.
