Abstract
This invention is directed to a method for inhibiting the occurrence of a major vascular event in a subject whereby a subject is administered beta-carotene and/or vitamin E, either alone or in combination. Beta-carotene and/or vitamin E is administered such that the subject's risk of experiencing a major vascular event is thereby reduced. In another preferred embodiment, beta-carotene in combination with aspirin is particularly effective. The invention further includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising beta-carotene in combination with vitamin E.
