For High Cholesterol "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."

For High Cholesterol "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."

For High Cholesterol "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."

For High Cholesterol, Familial Heterozygous "I have been on it for a month. Feel weaker, dizziness for sure. Zombie-like flu symptoms. Leg cramps in the AM. Loss of concentration. Not sure what the long term has in store. I hate that half-there feeling. Fell down the stairs on Crestor. Leg muscle gave way. Can't take statins. No blood work yet."

For High Cholesterol "I am on Nexletol - I get heartburn from ezetimibe. I have no side effects from the Nexletol whatsoever. I started off taking a half tablet and increased to one per day without issue."

For High Cholesterol "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."
