Elevated Lp(a) levels - does Repatha help?

Posted by klaudiaarnold @klaudiaarnold, Jul 16, 2025

Hi everyone,
After reading up on it myself, I found out there are hardly any medications available to lower highly elevated Lp(a)= levels. However, I came across Repatha and read that it might also help reduce Lp(a) levels. Is there any chance in significantly lowering an elevated Lp(a) level (above 50mg/dl) with Repatha?

• Has anyone had personal experience with Repatha to lower Lp(a)?
• And does anyone know a doctor who prescribes Repatha for lowering Lp(a)?

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge or experiences!

I have been on Repatha for several years, and it has reduced my numbers significantly. However, my triglycerides are still a little elevated. I would recommend Repatha over any other type of statin. I do not have a side effects from Repatha.

I have extremely elevated Lp(a) at 589nmol/L. With Repatha onboard, it went down to 369nmol/L-not normal, but better than being in the 99th percentile. of course, I am also on a statin and ezetimibe! No side effects from repatha-some myalgia with statin if I have a glass or two of wine, substantiated by above normal CK
