Is anyone taking repatha

My copay was $88 with Medicare and my Medicare supplement in 2024, but starting with new deductibles starting on 1/1, I paid $550+ for two injection packs. But my LDL dropped 90 points.

I am getting ready to try Repatha after terrible pain and muscle weakness with statins and Zetia. It sounds like most people tolerate it better, but some don’t.

Is that $88 for two injections a month? I only pay $25 times two which is 50 a month. I am on Medicare and my retirement advantage medical plan

I was on 30 mg. of Pravachol, the highest dose I could tolerate. All other statins had me in bed, horrible side effects. Trying Repatha which is working, dropped LDL 90 points in 3 months, but having major GI issues which is not a listed side effect. Trying my best to tolerate Repatha.

I have seen other people post that they have stomach problems also. I have been taking it for eight months and no problems yet although I did have loose tools a week after injection for about three months and then that resolved.

Could you tell me where you found the stomach issue information? I’m searching for information and advise. Thank you!

It was in one of the posts on the site and there’s also a Rapatha Consumer forum They were not scientific studies just comments.
