For High Cholesterol, Familial Heterozygous "I am a 74-year-old male. Just had the second dose of Leqvio. (I had to stop Praluent after two dosages due to extreme itching.) LDL has reduced by 50% after the first dosage 3 months ago. I have experienced slight muscle discomfort, but nothing major. Highly recommend treatment, but it is expensive."
