Is anyone on Repatha for cholesterol...

I'm taking Repatha shots every 2 weeks for cholesterol. So far, so good.
Has anyone experienced side effects...

Yes- started w/repatha but was allergic. Then went to Praluent about 3yrs ago. Have had no issues but bruising @ injection site. Very happy with results.

@czechgirl what happened to you when you took it. I am supposed to take it and am afraid to take it while I am alone. The Dr. should be the with you for the first dose. Happy to hear you are much better.

@gcgc I didn’t have any side effects & I found the injection pen very easy to use. I inject three inches to the side of my belly button and alternate sides w/ each use. I’ll admit taking it for the first few times I did stay at home a few hours afterwards, but haven’t had any issues- ever. It’s wise to be initially cautious until u r sure you can take this med safely. Hope this helps🙂
