Overview of Polypill for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention

A polypill is a combination of different drug classes in a single pill for cardiovascular disease treatment. It simplifies treatment and enhances patient adherence by combining multiple drugs into one daily dose. In primary prevention, targeting high-risk individuals without symptoms, polypill usage addresses the challenge of convincing healthy individuals to take preventive medication.
