Polypill for the prevention of cardiovascular disease
Publications
A combination pill, a so-called ‘polypill’, that contains low doses of multiple medications with proven effectiveness for the prevention of cardiovascular disease led to greater reductions in systolic blood pressure and LDL cholesterol level than were observed with usual care in a socioeconomically deprived minority population. As a ‘polypill’ is likely to reduce regimen complexity, it has great potential to improve medication adherence. Indeed the trialists report an overall good adherence of 86%.
