For intense discussions provide researchers with the idea for a "super pill"

to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Nicholas Wald and colleagues from the Institute of Preventive Medicine, University of London beat in the journal British Medical Journal (Vol. 326, pp. 1407, 2003) before, six drugs such as aspirin, cholesterol and blood pressure medicines, and folic acid combine.

All people aged 55 and over should take the combination of a day - even without symptoms of cardiovascular disease. A third could benefit from it.

Helmut Gohlke, Director of the German Heart Foundation, pointed out, however, possible side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding and brain. "How did the combination effect is uncertain."

They would also have the theoretical calculations of the researchers are tested in trials.

The President of the American Heart Association warns against "mass therapy". Franz Xaver Kleber, director of the Department of Internal Medicine in Berlin-Marzahn, said: "It would be wrong to assume that a combination of drugs reduced the risk of cumulative." The Public Health does not ascend by distributing pills.
