Strong evidences have been found in: high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, asthma, acute infections, epilepsy and psychotic disorders. For acute diseases, special counselling and written instructions on need to take all pills pro-duce better adherence and health patient outcomes.

More complex strategies (difficult for being generalized in Primary Health Care) have also produced better adherence outcomes.
