Repatha<\/span> (evolocumab) is an injectable medication prescribed to lower LDL (\u201cbad\u201d) cholesterol, especially in people with familial hypercholesterolemia or established heart disease. It works by blocking a protein called PCSK9, allowing the liver to remove more LDL from the bloodstream. While it can be effective when other medications and lifestyle changes aren\u2019t enough, it may not be right for everyone due to <\/span>costs<\/span><\/a>, side effects, or a preference to avoid injections. Fortunately, several alternatives may also help manage <\/span>high cholesterol levels<\/span><\/a> and reduce cardiovascular risk.<\/span><\/p>\n

What can I take instead of Repatha?<\/span><\/h2>\n

If Repatha isn\u2019t the right fit, other medications are available to help lower LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and reduce heart disease risk. These include oral options like <\/span>statins<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>bile acid sequestrants<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>fibrates<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>omega-3 fatty acids<\/span><\/a>. Injectable options include Evkeeza (evinacumab-dgnb) and other PCSK9 inhibitors like Praluent (alirocumab) and Levqio (inclisiran). A newer drug like Nexletol (bempedoic acid) is also a potential alternative. Each option differs in how it works, how it’s taken, and its potential side effects, so it’s important to seek medical advice from your healthcare provider for the best option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
