High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A polypill is a medication that is a combination drug of multiple active ingredients. It can often be aimed to be consumed widespread in the population, even currently healthy ones, as a means of preventive medicine. It often contains four or more active ingredients, with the intention of reducing the number of tablets or capsules (generally orally administered) that need to be taken, which in turn may facilitate handling and administration of the drug. When used for preemptive use, the dosages are naturally relatively low compared to what is administered to people already having disease or significant risk factors.
