Inclisiran 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."

"I have been on the study for about five years, having an injection every six months. I have not felt any discomfort apart from the last year when I have been diagnosed with diverticulitis and random itching, mainly on the torso. I do not know if I am on the placebo, but will ask at the end of the program."

Inclisiran for High Cholesterol "I had my first Leqvio injection about 6 weeks ago, with no side effects. I itch a lot but don't know if that's from Leqvio. My one complaint is that I had to go to the infusion center at the hospital. With that comes a same-day surgery fee. The reason being is because there is not a nurse in my doctor's office to administer it. We have to work on that. I was there for maybe 5 minutes. They did not keep me there to observe me for any kind of negative reaction. They were oblivious to the drug itself. I will be checking to see if it works next week. The ease of only 2 injections a year is wonderful."
