@clj9821, I can understand why reading about someone else’s difficult experience would make you apprehensive about starting Leqvio, especially with your first injection coming up November 11.

I’m curious what conversations you’ve had with your prescribing doctor leading up to this decision. Have you discussed why Leqvio was recommended for you, what side effects to watch for, and what the plan would be if you experienced any?

If I were feeling this uneasy before starting a new medication, I would want to talk through those concerns with my prescribing doctor before the injection. I’d want to feel comfortable that I understood both the potential benefits and risks, as well as what to expect afterward.

Would you be comfortable sharing a little about what led you and your doctor to choose Leqvio?
