Repatha shots, twice a month and Farxiga daily! Any long term effects?

Posted by manisham @manisham, Jun 15, 2023

I recently started taking Farxiga daily and Repatha shots twice a month. I have read and I understand the issues concerning side effects. I wanted to know if any one has heard of any long term effects! According to my cardiologist I will have to take these for rest of my life , along with 5-6 other heart medications. Was any one able to get off these meds? I am 72 years, female. Thanks. ☮️

I am taking Praluent injections twice a month, similar to Rapatha because my insurance covers it. Dropped my total cholesterol to 100. So far have not felt any side effects after 10 months. Do no know long term effects since it is a fairly new drug
