My doctor has started me on Repatha Evolocumab. One injection twice a week. Has anyone else been on this? I would like to know how you were affected by the side effects. Thanks

Welcome @rdeel55, There are a couple of discussions on Repatha that you might find helpful to learn what others have shared.

--- Repatha as a treatment for high HDL Cholesterol: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/repatha-as-a-treatment-for-high-hdl-cholesterol-1/
--- My goal is to get off statins (Atorvastin) and try Repatha. Advice?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/my-goal-is-to-get-off-statins-atorvastin-and-try-repatha-advice/.

Is there a specific side effect that worries you?

My wife uses this Repatha and it cut her values almost in half with no side effects that she had with oral statins. An amazing drug but amazingly expensive if you do not have good insurance 😩

I had no side effects. My allergy to statins prevented me from taking them. Repatha has been a very welcome substitute.
