Inclisiran "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."

"First dose in January. Injection site was painful for a good two weeks. Glad it was in my thigh. Two weeks post shot, I have been having trouble sleeping. I feel as though I've drank ten cups of coffee and am jittery. I actually quit drinking my one cup of coffee in hopes that it would solve the problem, but it did not. I guess I am not sure if it is the shot or something else."

Inclisiran "The side effects listed are about right. Had some periods of dizziness too. I have had bouts of big-time fatigue, and I think that is a result of the Leqvio. The side effects are aggravating, but in general, are worth it for the results."

"I was told it had not thrown up any side effects, but in actual fact, there are many documented. I've had a lot of musculoskeletal problems, aches, pain, unable to function well in the day, confusion, sleeping like a log, can't get up in the morning. I'm going to have one more injection. If the same happens again, I'm stopping it."

"I've had 3 injections, last one early December. Straight away, it floored me: headache, blurred vision, feeling weak all the time, muscle and joint pain, can't walk far, so much pain in hips, shivers, like I had influenza all the time. Quality of life-I was an energetic person. I had this injection. On a positive side, reduced cholesterol level in half. I'm due for another injection in June 24, not having it. My life has changed so much. I'll take my chances in exchange for the quality of life to return to what it was!"
