Has anyone had no luck with statins due to serious side-effects; gone on Repatha and had no problems using it long term?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Heart & Blood Health Support Group.

I had problems with statins and Repatha. I am taking Nexletol and Zetia and added Benecol.

Statins are not my friend. My cardiologist and I tried all of them, at varying doses. I'm one of those folks that just can''t take them. Not only muscle issues, I tend to break out in a rash over my torso. So....nope. Too bad because I have HeFH (runs in my family). I've been taking Praluent since 2016, injection every other week, with no issues, thankfully. It's the other PCSK9 inhibitor.
