Resumen:
Lack of adherence is a growing global problem and is responsible that the expected results in health depart from reality, increasing the Health expenditure. Understanding why a patient is not adherent requires identifying the factors involved in your specific case and customize the strategies to follow. For address non-adherence from the community pharmacy we have the protocol of the guide ADHe + dispensing and rational use of the drug, which classifies patients not adherents in three profiles (confused, suspicious and trivializing), facilitating the task evaluation of their beliefs towards a specific medicine and at a certain time. Following the protocol proposed by the guide, the pharmacist can detect non-adherence in the medicines that the patient collects and in which they do not and inquire in the causes. But the current moment that we are experiencing a pandemic due to COVID-19 The paradigm of chronicity is changing. The fear of contagion, the slowdown of healthcare processes for new hygiene measures, telemedicine, confinement and the ignorance of the new situation by patients and health professionals It can greatly affect therapeutic adherence.
