Drug trial update. Well the trial is complete and a recent blood test shows all cholestrol levels are down. No reactions to the injection.

Hopefully this injection will develop for young children who will be tested for FH and if found to carry the gene a three monthly injection used to treat them. This will help prevent early heart attacks and sudden deaths in the under thirties, which can only be a good thing
