Is anyone on Levqio

I'm trying to get Leqvio and have checked all the side effects. Nothing comes up for the digestive tract. One common side effect of Leqvio is UTIs, this concerns me. I won't know until I try it. You've had blood tests for Lp(a), APOB a Coronary CT angiogram, and a Cardio echogram? Do you have coronary heart disease? I have taken high dosages of most of the satins you have taken and I had the same digestive issues. Not knowing what was wrong I had an upper endoscopy, that showed I had an inflamed stomach, an abdomen CAT scan with and without contrast, a stomach emptying test, CAT of the pelvis with and without contrast. Nothing turned up. I stopped my statin for a month and then started on a low dose of 10mg of simvastatin with no digestive problems. I too hope I won't have digestive issues with Leqvio but I have to take it. I have high Lp(a), APOB, APOE4, and stage 2 CAD.

I've been on Leqvio for about 3 years, and have been having UTI's which are unusual for me. My cardiologist claims there's no connection, but I've seen a few references online. Where have you seen data showing the connection?
thanks!
