Statin intolerant & repatha intolerant
Unfortunatley I have found that my body can't tolerate statins or reptha injections although I really need to get my high cholesterol reduced. Very frightened as i really do need something to reduced my risks. Anyone else experiencing this? What medication do you take instead? Thank you

Interesting study on combination of statins and metformin in high-risk patient outcomes
Is that low PSA a result of a synergy of the metformin/atorvastatin/
Repatha
? Dunno, but my medical oncologist thought it was possible. I guess we'll see with my next blood test if it holds at this new lower number.

Repatha injections
Is anyone taking
Repatha
injections to lower cholesterol? . I had my first injection two weeks ago and within days I developed lower back pain. I know it is one of the side effects and believe me I’ve had them all!!!

Anyone else on
repatha

I have been using
Repatha
for over a year to reduce my cholesterol which is due to some genetic mutations. It is working well but my consultant suggested integrating this treatment with NILEMBDO for a month at least and see if I am ok with it.

how statins slow growth of prostate
My personal experience is that by taking
Repatha
, a relatively new drug that lowers cholesterol dramatically --more than statins -- has increased my PSA doubling time to 18.8 months, from an initial 1 month!

Repatha
My cardiologist wants me to start taking a drug,
Repatha
, a biologic one injects every 14 days. I would like to hear from people currently taking this drug. I am already on a biologic, Actemra that I inject weekly. Thank you in advance for any insight to this drug. Peggy

very high cholesterol
She wants me to inject
Repatha
a biologic every two weeks. I already inject Actemra weekly. I’m a bit hesitant to start a second biologic. My question is has anyone else had to inject
repatha
and how did it work for you. I am still on hydrocortisone tablets twice a day and Actemra weekly.

Alternatives to Statins
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.
