Started Repatha - Side Effects
Heart & Blood Health | Last Active: 14 hours ago | Replies (277)Comment receiving replies
I've been on Repatha about two years with no side effects and my LDL plunged. I'm rather lucky in that I have almost no side effects with any drug except, believe it or not, Aspirin. Aspirin gives me terrible GERD/heartburn. It's a very common side effect that's well known. I told my doc about it and he said to stop taking it. I did and feel much better in that area. I hope if any of you are taking Aspirin and getting GERD, you will heed this advice. Good luck everyone.

I do have significant GERD even with the safety coated, low dose aspirin. I’m going off aspirin for a while to see if it improves!!! Thanks!!

You are certainly blessed to be able to take Repatha without side effects. I don’t know why some people have no side effects and others become virtually disabled. I tend to have side effects with drugs and my statin and Repatha side effects were so severe that I was becoming extremely painful and bedbound from a very active healthy life. I wish I could take these drugs. My life would be so much easier if I could, but I can’t. So, I am constantly looking, studying, reaching out, altering my life and doing everything I can to live a healthy active life.
