255589003 | Direct | Direct methods make it possible to evaluate the level of adherence of a patient based on the quantification of a drug. They are methods that aim to measure the presence of metabolites or biological markers. They are usually expensive and difficult to apply in community pharmacies. They are commonly used in clinical trials on drugs [1]. Despite these difficulties, they are considered to be the most accurate and obvious proof of having taken the drug [2]. This type of measure is in principle intended for patients who are hospitalized and undergoing treatment by a single medicinal product. Adherence measuring methods of this type are implemented both to analyze primary and secondary lack of adherence [2]. 1] Rodríguez Chamorro, M. Á., García-Jiménez, E., Gil, A. B., Chamorro, A.
