Any experience with Nexletol or Nexlezet?

Posted by poppy55 @poppy55, Jan 19 8:08am

I’ve had bad side effects with rosuvastatin, atorvastatin, and especially praluent. My doctor is now recommending Nexletol. Has anyone had similar intolerance with statins that has tried Nexletol or Nexlezet?

I haven’t tried Praluent, but had problems with Repatha. How are you planning to check how Bempodoic acid is working and/or causing any problems? Inquiring minds want to know. Would you come back and report?😀

What problems did you have with Repatha?

My diet is like yours but with fish once a week. No alcohol. With lots of exercise. High intensity intervals, spin classes, resistance training, walking.

My tests measure HDL, LDL, Triglycerides, VLDL, Cholesterol to HDL ratio. Attached image shows test from February when I was taking 5mg of rosuvastatin every other day. Stopped meds right after the test due to side effects.

I’m 70 years old.

I forgot about the fish and alcohol, same here. I have low triglycerides as well. It will be interesting to see the impact of discontinuing rosuvastatin.

I didn’t connect my symptoms to Repatha until the night following my 9th injection. I was startled awake thinking I forgot to breathe. Of course, that doesn’t happen. I realized it had been creeping up on me, pain in my right chest area, I ate tons of peppermint, and there was a cognitive component.
