Inclisiran injection

[goldenbay]

I had a double bypass in 2001 and have been on Cholesterol reducing medication since 2000, first Simvastatin, now Atorvastatin 80 mg. My levels are still outside the limit required and my Gp wanted to prescribe another medication. However over the years I’ve found that Magnesium Stearate in medication triggers my epilepsy causing an absence seizure so I refuse to take any more extra tablets so my GP has suggested Inclisiran injections and after consulting the hospital I meet the criteria and am due to had my first injection on Tuesday. Does anyone have any experience of this?

I had it twice, no reaction first time but large very itchy rash second time so not allowed it anymore sadly. Give it a go, it really lowers LDL!

sorry message pinged before I meant it to! My levels reduced to 5.4 from 7.4. All I can suggest is try it and see how you go, everyone reacts differently.

Hi

I have had 2 injections so far. My LDL was 3.4 and they wanted it at 1. After the first dose my level was spot on 1 so all good. I am also on 40mg Atorvatatin plus 10mg Ezetimibe but the Inclisiran has made all the difference. My injections have been put in my stomach area and do sting a bit but nothing to worry about. I do not appear to have any side effects so I am very pleased to know that both my HDL and my LDL are where the medics want them.

Good luck
