Hypertension magazine reported that scientists have discovered a highly effective method for treating high blood pressure.
According to a statement from the American Heart Association cited by the magazine, the new study found that taking a single pill combining several medications for hypertension can lower blood pressure more quickly and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Experts leading the study noted that most patients with high blood pressure require two or more medications simultaneously. Combining these drugs into a single pill makes it easier for patients to adhere to treatment and reduces the likelihood of missed doses.
Researchers indicate that this approach helps patients reach target blood pressure levels faster and reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications by 15–30%.
Recommendations emphasize that these combination pills should contain only blood pressure medications, not “polypills” that also include statins or aspirin.
Despite its proven effectiveness, the use of this method remains limited due to cost. Nevertheless, researchers believe that broader adoption of this treatment approach could significantly improve the health of patients with high blood pressure.
