Overview

This randomised controlled clinical trial will investigate if a polypill (single pill containing fixed-dose combination of treatments) will improve patients adherence and health outcomes compared to patients given standard cardiovascular medications.

It will be conducted in Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services and general medical practices in Australia. Participants in the study will be monitored for approximately 18 months.
