Bempedoic acid "After trying everything on the market to lower my cholesterol, and experiencing terrible side effects from statins, I read about Bempedoic Acid. I was already taking Zetia with no results. I asked my cardiologist about this new drug, Nexletol, and he agreed to let me try it. In three months, my total cholesterol went from 255 to 126 and no side effects! It worked for me when everything else did not."

Bempedoic acid "I'm 65 and have suffered from high cholesterol since my 20s. I tried statins, but they caused a rotator cuff tear with type 2 SLAP tears. I was a little hesitant to start Nexletol based upon possible tendon rupture. I've been taking the drug for 2 months now and am thrilled with the results. No side effects, and my blood test showed my cholesterol level, for the first time in 46 years, is normal."

Bempedoic acid "After taking Nexletol for 1 1/2 years, I developed severe peripheral nerve pain in my arms, shoulders, legs, and feet. I had severe burning pain. After stopping Nexletol, the burning in my shoulders started to lessen after 3 days and quickly stopped. However, the stiffness in my back, and the burning nerve pain in my legs and feet has taken over the last 1 1/2 years to get better. It’s been a slow process. (Gabapentin, PT, Tylenol, NSAIDs, and cortisone injections). I am now treating IT Band issues and bursitis. By the way, I had similar peripheral nerve damage from statins previously before taking Nexletol. That nerve pain wasn’t as severe though. On a good note, Nexletol alone decreased my cholesterol greatly."

Bempedoic acid "I am taking Nexletol for high cholesterol. It was the first medication that did not produce dizziness and leg cramping (caused by statin medication). Downside: expensive, occasional leg cramping and chest tightness."

"Anti-cholesterol medications scare me to death. I have begun taking bempedoic acid (generic Bempesta from India) every other day. After doing this for one month, it lowered my cholesterol by ten points. I have noticed an occasional slight raspy feeling in my lungs and a perhaps related slight feeling of tiredness. I am trying to find out why bempedoic acid causes anemia in some patients, but so far, no information has become available."
