Polypills (Cardiology)

I will comment on this after my exams. Came across a polypill trial from Britain here:

http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0041297

This polypill contains the following active ingredients:
amlodipine 2.5 mg, losartan 25 mg, hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg and simvastatin 40 mg

It is different from the one V.Fuster has been working on in New York/Madrid.

Fuster talks about his version of the polypill here: http://www.empowereddoctor.com/what-is-the-polypill
