Elevated Lp(a) levels - does Repatha help?

I have been on Repatha for 2 months. My Lp(a) level dropped by 32%. I don't take any other cholesterol meds. My cholesterol dropped by 35%, LDL by 61%. Chol/HDL Ratio is now 1.7. No noticeable side effects. I hope this is helpful. My cardiologist prescribed it.

Hi @paxlux, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You have wonderful news to report about starting Repatha just 2 months ago! You must be beyond ecstatic about the drop in both your LDL and LP(a).

Since you are new here, would you share some about your health and what has led you to Repatha? Also, what type of follow-up will you have, when do you get numbers checked again?
