Fixed-dose combinations in lipidology

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of mortality and morbidity in developed countries. Although there has been a significant regression over the last 30 years, there is a slight increase in recent years.

This is due to several factors: the number of obese increases, our population still smokes heavily, and, most importantly, we are not meeting the recommended target values. We still tend to use low dose of hypolipidemics, we do not use combination therapy and, quite understandably, the compliance of our patients to therapy for polypragmasia is decreasing.

Therefore, the ideal treatment approach is to use fixed combinations.
