Hello, yes my husband has been on Repatha for about 4 years. Absolutely no side effects. Very good medication.
Hope this helps. 😀

Yes! It did Angie! It was especially good for me as I have genetic cholesterol and heart disease. Ask your doctor. I am not currently on it, but my cholesterol has remained in check ever since with a daily Atorvastin. Talk to me anytime.

Hi..I asked this question about Repatha when my doctor suggested I take it. I have now had 5 injections. One every 2 weeks..I recently went for blood work and my doctor and myself are very happy with the results. No side effects.

I too have genetic high cholesterol and heart disease. My doctor put me on Praluent injections to control my cholesterol since I wasn't able to tolerate statins. I've heard of Repatha, but I've never tried it. Everyone, in case you don't already know, our medications are sometimes very expensive. I'm on Medicare and receive Social Security. I almost always qualify for Prescription Assistance to cover the cost on these expensive medications. Go to the drug website and see what assistance is available to you. Also, when you get a new medication, do your research. Find out the adverse reactions and stay vigilant. If you notice something abnormal, right away, either contact your pharmacist or better yet, your doctor. Stay healthy 🙂
