Yes! I am still taking Leqvio and it is working. It does not have the side effects that statins have because it’s not a stain. It has lowered my cholesterol and put it in range. My cardiologist had me fill out the information for the manufacturer to pay the 700.00 dollars that was my portion. I was approved and pay nothing. Since, I was approved it is given by an approved infusion center. They call it an infusion but it is a simple shot. I do not understand why the manufacturer had it approved under infusion. It does not affect my neuropathy.
As an RN I did continuing education credits on it. That’s why I started it. I have had three shots of it. The fist one, three months later second shot, third month later every six months.
