Inclisiran injection

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?
