Malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS,2 for example, are all treated with binations of drugs. But that can mean a lot of pills to take. It would be simpler if drug panies bined all the medicines into a single pill, taken just once a day.

It says the effectiveness of Combivir has been shown in each of more than fifty studies. The price of the new oncedaily pill has not been announced. But Gilead and BristolMyers Squibb say they will provide it at reduced cost to developing countries. They plan in the next few months to ask the United States Food and Drug Administration10 to approve the new pill. There are limits to who could take it because of the different drugs it contains.
