Polypill 'could become a reality'
A cheap five-in-one pill can guard against heart attacks and stroke, research suggests.
The concept of a polypill for everyone over 55 to cut heart disease by up to 80% was mooted over five years ago, but slow progress has been made since.
Now a trial in India shows such a pill has the desired effects and is safe and well-tolerated by those who take it.

Re: Polypill 'could become a reality'
Slow progress has been made on this 'concept' because the large phamaceutical companies know it will dramatically effect their vast profits made out of the NHS.Small wonder the initiative has come from India.
The polypill is not the only answer however and the same results can ,in many cases, be achieved by excercise and a good diet.
Currently,the NHS and State Pension Fund are under enormous strain from people living longer.These two issues need to be addressed in tandem with
any drugs which will ultimately have an effect on longevity.
