Comprehensive approaches are followed in chronic disease prevention. Polypharmacy or using fixed dose combination of polypill is an element under the comprehensive approach. This narrative review is carried out in intent to summarise the potential advantages and barriers of using Polypill in cardiovascular risk prevention. There is potential to benefit the high risk group for non communicable diseases in terms of primary prevention but secondary prevention is not certainly indicated. Available Drugs are noted.
