Has anyone developed a rash from Leqvio?

Posted by justlucky @justlucky, 3 days ago

After the first injection last fall I noticed a rash on the back of my upper arm 2 months later. But neither my cardiologist nor dermatologist thought it was related to the Leqvio because of the location and timing. It's taken another month for it to fade, nothing topical seemed to help it heal.
Then I had my 2nd Leqvio injection last week. I developed an injection site rash 3 days later. This time it itches so it was easy to spot. Hence, I now know the first rash was also from the Leqvio.
My questions:
Has anyone else experienced a rash? If so, how was it treated?
How did the rash affect future Leqvio injections; i.e. are you still receiving Leqvio?

I have not used this med but I think you need to do some work.
Google the medication
Check for reactions or call the company. Make sure you are on the company web site.

Hides are no fun. They hurt the itch and they get worse. And a lot of people don’t understand just how hives hurt
I wish you the very best have fun looking things
