Why is the #Polypill a “Secret Medicine” and not available on the NHS? This article in the British Journal of General Practice @BJGPjournal discusses some of the reasons: bjgp.org/content/74/746…
“To be successful, preventive interventions need to reach all who stand to benefit.” say Professors Wald and Hingorani in their letter that references the #polypill in @guardianletters : theguardian.com/society/articl…
A large scale randomised controlled study provides further evidence for the effectiveness and safety of the #polypill for primary and secondary #CVD prevention. heart.bmj.com/content/110/14…
A study shows that #Polypill has the potential of preventing many more #heart attacks and #strokes than the NHS Health Check Programme. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
A paper discusses the barriers which prevent the use of the #polypill in primary prevention of #heart attacks and #strokes: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
#Polypill gains further acceptance in preventing first #heart attack and #strokes. scotsman.com/news/politics/… thelancet.com/journals/lance…
"Statins, more than any other drugs in the 21st century, have completely changed the ability to prevent cardiovascular disease events" #polypill thelancet.com/journals/lance…
A study on 155,000 people published online in the Lancet on August 29, 2022 shows that muscle aches and weakness due to statins are rare, effecting about 1% who start taking a statin. thelancet.com/journals/lance…
Another trial published online in the New England Journal of Medicine shows the benefit of a Polypill in cardiovascular disease prevention with a supportive editorial. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
Further study validates polypill concept – results confirm benefit of blood pressure reduction whatever the blood pressure: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Recent Lancet paper confirms benefit of blood pressure lowering preventive medication from about age 50 #polypill doi.org/10.1016/S0140-…
Further endorsement of the #polypill in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease published in the Lancet in August 2021: thelancet.com/journals/lance…
Another confirmation of the value of the #polypill in primary prevention: nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.105…
A new important study supports wider use of the polypill richardswsmith.wordpress.com/2020/11/14/a-n… via @wordpressdotcom
An extra benefit from the #Polypill Prevention Programme is the prevention of #headaches including #migraine. A survey of Polypill participants showed that the Polypill prevents headaches in about one third of people who suffer from headaches. See polypill.com/Home/Headaches
A new #polypill formulation is now available. The medication used in the Polypill Prevention Programme can now be prescribed in a single capsule, if following an on-line medical assessment, a person is judged suitable for the preventive medication. See polypill.com
US study confirms beneficial effect of statin use on people aged 75 and older. This supports lifetime use of #polypill in reducing death from cardiovascular disease : jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…
Oxford researchers show reduced admission to hospitals among people with heart attacks emphasising the importance of primary prevention. This highlights the benefit of #Polypill. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
A plus for #polypill in the #COVID19 pandemic. Read the study here: journals.lww.com/co-cardiology/…
