Plan A is to get patients to stick to their blood pressure pills

(Springer) There is value in starting off patients with high blood pressure on an all-in-one pill. This advice is given to clinicians by Julie Lauffenburger and colleagues of the Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. In a paper in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, published by Springer, the researchers found more value in fixed-dose combination pills that contain more than one type of medication, rather than separate pills for each drug.
