Leqvio (inclisiran) for High Cholesterol, Familial Heterozygous "I've just had my second injection. Cholesterol dropped, so that's a positive. I still have an injection site rash, possibly due to this last injection being very uncomfortable, unlike the first one. My IBS has been really bad this time too, but not sure if connected. Jury's still out as to whether I would have a 3rd."

For High Cholesterol, Familial Heterozygous "After a >99% occlusion of my LAD was detected I had a stent implanted at 43 years old. Untreated, my total cholesterol was at 360 mg/dl with LDL 260. Atorvastatin plus Ezetimibe did not lower the numbers sufficiently. Inclisiran was prescribed by my cardiologist in 2021, and 2 weeks after the first injection, my numbers are amazing. LDL has been below 55 mg/dl ever since. No side effects except for the rather painful injection. Amazing. Will undergo coronary radiography in 2024 to assess whether the good numbers translate into disease regression. (I'm from Germany where Inclisiran was approved in 2020.)"

Leqvio (inclisiran) for High Cholesterol "Week after second dose. So tired don't want to get up from chair. Stiff leg muscles. Pain in back and hips. The medicine works well, bad cholesterol went from 112 to 43 in one month 49 after three months. Thankful for that but side effects are hard to deal with. Questioning the third dose."

Leqvio (inclisiran) for High Cholesterol, Familial Heterozygous "I could not take statins without side effects. Sore muscles aching joints. I was crying at night, could not sleep. After using Leqvio for 2 doses, I don't even need to take any statins. I also changed the way I eat."

Leqvio (inclisiran) for High Cholesterol "The Leqvio injection was a brief stop at the cardiologist's office. Typical, brief shot in the back of the arm. Easy. They held me there for ~15 minutes to ensure no injection symptoms. The nurse administering the injection did it very well. No pain or discomfort. I don't have serum numbers yet so I am unable to speak to the effectiveness, but I wish all my meds could be this easy."
