Experiences with

Praluent

My endo is starting me on Praluent & I’m looking to hear positive /negative experiences and also any tips for getting used to it. Thanks in advance x

Such as: Eylea, for wet age-related macular degeneration Praluent, for high cholesterol Dupixent, for atopic dermatitis Libtayo, for skin cancer Regen-cov, for covid-19 They have a robust research pipeline with one branch focused on liver disease.

Each day sees me swallow Eliquis pills at $430 for three months supply, and $189 for three months supply Praluent, and an incredible $30 for a pill of Orgovyx. . Yes, yes, I know, Medicare talks about a maximum out of pocket FOR APPROVED DRUGS.

I’ve been on 75 aspirin; bisoprolol 6.25mg daily; Ranolazine 375mg twice daily; and PRALUENT injections from when I had a stent fitted and my bp 145/78 pulse 58 which was great but my bp has gradually increased to 157/85 pulse 67 , I was on Allopurinol before stent was filled but I kept swelling up!

Hi, guys. It's been a while I poped on HF I hope your all doing ok. I have question regarding cholostral lowering injections taken every fourth night. Are they good and work well, what. Are the side affects and risk factors? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone else on here been put on Praluent injections and if so how are you finding them? thanks.

Hi everyone, I had my video appointment with the endocrinologist, it turned out my cholesterol was way to high but can’t take statins due to liver disease, so I have been put on praluent a new drug you have to inject yourself twice a month, has any one else been using it, sounds good at the moment keeping

Because I was unable to control my cholesterol within acceptable levels and most of the bad stuff was made within my body, I've been given a self injection drug called Praluent 150 mg. I inject every 14 days. It works extremely well and my lipids are now well within range of good.

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.

I have been seeing a Consultant specialising in Cholesterol issues for two years and have been through the treatment protocol of Statins followed by one of the new PCSK9 inhibitors (Praluent) Unfortunately I can’t tolerate Statins and have reacted very, very, badly to Praluent.

I’ve just started Praluent injections as I’m intolerant to statins! After 1st injection I have chest tightness and intermittent breathlessness. I had the same with statins. Has anyone else had similar effects?

I had been told by the consultant that a new drug specifically for FH was on the market (Praluent is one name) and the base level LDL for approval was 3.4, therefore in theory I qualified but that the panel who decide would not allow it me as my cholesterol would fall if I lost some weight and that

He has given me an injection called Praluent (alirocumab). It is reasonably new only been in the public use for 2years, trails for 8 years. I have to wait for delivery and then a nurse to show me how to do it even tho I've already got 2 pens that i self administer.

To be honest, I am worried about taking it given the issues I had with Praluent and am just trying to establish if I should start the injections or not.

If not switching to atorvastatin - see FH specialist again in approx 8 mths so before then I want to say I've tried x,y & z but now I want praluent!!!!!!!!! It's a battle I'm hoping to win!
