,ANILONDON: Men over 50 should take daily 3-in-1 'polypill' to keep heart attack at bay, according to a UK government's leading cardiac expert.
Professor Roger Boyle, the Department of Health's national director for heart disease and stroke suggested that the magical 1 pound a day pill will have a cholesterol-busting statin, aspirin and drugs to lower blood pressure.
As for women, there was no early requirement of the pill because their hormones protected against heart disease until menopause.
