Started Repatha - Side Effects

Hi @tatiana987. I like your suggestion. Repatha didn’t work well for me. I have now had 5 Inclisiran injections and my cholesterol has never been better controlled. A previous doctor kept telling me Inclisiran is the same thing and won’t work for me. He was wrong!
Are you taking Repatha again, or anything else for high cholesterol? Have you been able to learn more about siRNA type drugs since we last “chatted”?

That is very interesting. Thank you for suggesting it. Inclisiran can have bad side effects and it’s a twice a year injection, so if I were to have the side effects, which I probably would, you can’t just stop taking it, it’s in your system for 6 months. That really scares me. Side effects: more expensive and have side effects such as injection site reactions (e.g., redness, swelling, pain), flu-like symptoms (e.g., fatigue, headache), and symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections, which need to be taken into consideration when using them clinically. My body is so tired of experimenting with drugs that make me so sick and take so long to recover.
