Hybrid hypotensive and lipid-lowering drugs – an option or therapeutic necessity? Review article

Main Article Content

Marcin Barylski

Abstract

Strategy to reduce global cardiovascular risk depends on simultaneously lowering blood pressure and LDL cholesterol. It justifies the use of hybrid single-pill combinations containing both antihypertensive and lipid-lowering drugs in one tablet. In this context, combinations including atorvastatin, perindopril and amlodipine seem particularly valuable.
