"I tried various statins before I was prescribed Repatha. I had statin feet to the point that I couldn't stand or walk. With these injections, I am able to keep my vitals at where they should be, and I have zero side effects (after the injection pain subsides). The injection area can hurt for up to a couple of hours afterward."

"After a minor stroke, 80% blockage in carotid arteries for the 2nd time, uncontrolled cholesterol test levels. Repatha lowered my bad numbers with no side effects. It's easy to use. My overall health improved. On my 2nd year."

"Significantly reduced LDL, however, after 2 months I developed flu-like symptoms, including runny nose, night cough, bronchial breathing issues. Also developed extreme sensitivity to dust. These symptoms continued for 4 months before I stopped taking Repatha. The conditions slowly reduced over 2 months."

"45 male. I was taking atorvastatin for my cholesterol and I currently am predisposed to have high lipoprotein a. Atorvastatin worked really well. Brought down my LDL and lowered my triglycerides, including a small increase in my HDL. Overall, I was really happy with my statin and didn't have any side effects after persisting on it for a few months, but I did have a little bit of foggy brain issues initially. Unfortunately, the statin increased my LPA, but my doctor was responsive to my idea of getting on Repatha in order to lower my LPA. I've been on Repatha now for 6 months. I haven't had any side effects and I'm also on half as much atorvastatin. Basically, it's 20 mg a day plus my twice-a-month injection of Repatha. Anyways, long story short, it all seems to be working great. Repatha has worked well to lower my LPA and get all my other biomarkers in line. I have to say I feel really good. I work under the barbell doing squats and presses, regular cardio, and everything is looking good."

"I have heart failure with rapid AF. My cholesterol overall has been high forever. Bad cholesterol level always high. I take two statins and now Repatha. After three months of taking original statins, my cholesterol levels have dropped to 2.5 and bad levels are hard to measure. I am 58 with multiple medical problems. Now I have one win."

"It is excellent. I read these previous reviews from older people. I am one, and I think they need to address their other issues. Dig deep. You are older, and you (and I) have multiple conditions going on."

"I have just started taking Repatha because Lipitor causes joint pain for me. I have now had my second dose. I will get my lipids checked in 2 weeks and then take 2 more doses of Repatha and then check my lipids again after 2 months. As long as my lipids stay very good, then I will continue with Repatha. I have had no side effects from the drug. It's not as easy to take as Ozempic, but it's okay. I just inject the medication into my leg. I would rather inject in the side of my stomach like Ozempic, but it will not fire because the surface is not firm enough."
