@slkanowitz do you have to inject the Repatha yourself, or does your doctor do it? I wonder if a pharmacist would do it … I hate self injecting!

Repatha comes in a Sure Click form that makes self injection easy. It’s a prefilled cartridge and all you do is wipe skin ( I use abdominal fat) with alcohol swab, press cartridge hard against skin and push button. Anyone in family can do it for you as well. It’s fast, easy, but stings for a couple of seconds.

My husband was prescribed Repatha ( he had to stop Repatha due to bad side effect) and he injected himself his first dose. It works as a EpiPen for allegies. A small tube that you need to press on your stomach. It doesn’t hurt according to my husband. Call your doctor, his nurse can do that for you, it is her duty as a nurse. Stay well.
