Malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/ AIDS, for example, are all treated with (51) of drugs. But that can mean a lot of pills to take. It would be (52) if drug companies combined all the medicines into a single pill, taken just once a day.

Glaxo Smith Kine reacted (63) the findings by saying that a single study is of limited value. It says the effectiveness of Combivir has been shown in each of more than fifty studies.
The price of the new once-daily pill has not been announced. But Gilead and Bristol-Myers 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 Administration to (64) the new pill.
There are limits to who could take it because of the different drugs it contains. For example, (65) women are told not to take Sustiva because of the risk of birth disorders. Experts say more that forty million people around the world are living with HIV.
