I could not take statins. Now on an injectable monoclonal antibody called Repatha which is self-administered twice a month (looks like an epi-pen). It hasl owered my cholesterol.

I am also unable to take any statins due to severe adverse reactions. My cardiologist recommended Repatha but said special paperwork was needed because it was very expensive. I am 70 and on Medicare. How much does it cost per injection and what are the side effects? Never heard back from his office so apparently I wasn’t approved as he said they would call me and it’s been 8 months.
