E-DRUG: What are potential problems with FDCs? (2)
--------------------------------------------------

Dear Chris

Some educators do strongly believe, that possible benefit to patient taking
"several in one" instead of "one in several" is better compliance only. Risk
to forget to take regularly one pill is lower. My opinion is that this is
very individual benefit. There are more other risks (non-suitable
pharmacokinetic/dosage/price profile) that could outweigh this benefit.
