Since I was obviously not a candidate for Repatha, I have now taken the first injection for Leqvio. This is also a cholesterol management injection, but it is done once every six months. It seems the most serious side effect is itchiness, rash, bruising, and sore at the injection site which I managed very successfully with Benadryl cream, and ice on and off every 20 minutes for that afternoon. However, I did get a very significant 10 day Migraine that required a steroid to break the headache. I am only two weeks out from the initial injection, but thus far I don’t have any other side effects.
