Hi Rosie: last Fall my cardiologist added Repatha to my cholesterol lowering regimen, and while it lowered my LDL from 109 to 27, there was also a 60% decrease in my Lp(a), although to be fair, I started much lower than you.
I don’t believe Repatha is marketed for anything other than LDL reductions, it may be worth checking. Also, look into clinical trials (if you’re interested), as there are some out there specifically for Lp(a)
Hello @rosie66,
There have been some recent comments on this topic, since January of this year, from @dode @meryl59 @kjss @bitsygirl. Perhaps one of these members will respond to your posts. If not, just click on "Reply" under their post and type in your comment or question to them.
If you look under the first post of each discussion group you will see an oval shaped icon that says, "Oldest to Newest" with a drop-down arrow. By clicking on this you can arrange the posts from newest to oldest. That way you are aware of the more recent posts in the group. Each time, however, that you make this change it will automatically revert back to "oldest to newest."
