I was on statins with repatha but am having reactions to the statins and have been taken off them . I am wondering if the repatha alone will help keep cholesterol down?

Hi Angie. I am taking Repatha twice a month with no side effects and excellent results regarding my lipids. I am not taking statins because of adverse side effects. Repatha alone is doing the job.

Just had my annual and my cholesterol was elevated. Dr prescribed the above statin I'm new to this, is anyone familiar with this. Will be talking to her before I start taking it. I have mixed feelings about adding another drug. Any feedback is welcomed. Will talk about a change to my diet for about a month to try and lower it before taking new medication.
Have a goodnight. Can't wait to hear from the group.
