Started Repatha - Side Effects
Heart & Blood Health | Last Active: 7 hours ago | Replies (130)Comment receiving replies
Well, I laid off of it for what I am thinking was 3 months then tried Praluent. The first try took me right back to where I had left off with Repatha so I did not take more. I started lipid apheresis 1/2019 that would acutely drop LDL to a good place every other week. My overall health declined and I was looking anywhere for help. At the same time inclisiran was coming out but I was told it worked the same way as Repatha and Praluent. I eventually made it to a new doc managing my cholesterol and learned I could expect inclisiran to work differently. I have had 4 shots and doing well.

How long have you been on this drug and are you still symptom free? Also, it says it should be taken with a statin. Since I can’t take statins or Repatha, I wonder if it will work alone? Here are the side effects which sound like statin side effects: The most common side effect of LEQVIO is injection site reaction (including pain, redness, and rash), which occurred in 8% of people taking LEQVIO vs 2% with placebo. Other side effects people reported with LEQVIO included joint pain (5% vs 4% with placebo) and chest cold (4% vs 3% with placebo).
I am so interested and want to know more from people like you that can’t take statins or Repatha.
