Experiences with

Evolocumab

Hi, do you inject evolocumad for lower cholesterol ? What can you say about side effect?

Unfortunately, the Evolocumab also causes muscle and joint pain but this has settled somewhat after time and now seems to be something new.

There are two FDA-approved monoclonal antibodies that target PCSK9 called alirocumab and evolocumab, and both cut patients’ risk of cardiovascular events in half. However, these drugs are much more expensive than statins due to their complicated production process.

Or even the doctor advised for me because having cmt the best of to take monthly shots of evolocumab any using this ?

Two have been licensed so far: alirocumab (Praluent) and evolocumab (Repatha). They work by blocking a protein called PCSK9, which binds to LDL receptors in the liver, stopping them from working.

LDL cholesterol is not associated with cardiovascular disease The shocking truth about the new 'wonder jab' for high cholesterol Inclisiran halved cholesterol levels in patients at high risk of a heart attack Two others, evolocumab and alirocumab, can only be prescribed by specialists However,

Like many on here I suffer from Familial hypercholesterolemia. I have very high Cholesterol levels and have had a resulting Heart Attack. I have also had a second Heart Attack caused by Vasospasm. Over a number of years I have been treated with all the available Statins, but each time have had to stop

The new drug - evolocumab - changes the way the liver works to also cut bad cholesterol. "It is much more effective than statins," said Prof Peter Sever, from Imperial College London. He organised the bit of the trial taking place in the UK with funding from the drug company Amgen.
