What is Nexletol?

Nexletol is a cholesterol-lowering drug used to manage high cholesterol levels in the blood. It's particularly effective for people with a condition known as heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia or those who have a history of cardiovascular disease. Nexletol is often prescribed when diet changes and other cholesterol-lowering drugs, like statins, are not sufficient enough to manage cholesterol levels.

The active ingredient in Nexletol, bempedoic acid, works by blocking an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis. As a result, Nexletol can help reduce the levels of bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) and reduce the risk of long-term health conditions or complications related to high cholesterol, such as heart attack and stroke.

What doses of Nexletol are available?

Nexletol is available as a 180 mg oral tablet that’s taken once daily with or without meals. It should only be used with a valid prescription from a doctor or healthcare provider. Consult a healthcare provider for more information and medical advice on the appropriate use of the medication.  

What are the side effects of Nexletol?

Patients taking Nexletol may experience common side effects, including:

• Muscle spasms

• Back pain

• Stomach pain

• Increased liver enzymes

• Common cold symptoms

While rare, Nexletol may also cause more serious side effects, such as:

• Increased risk of tendon rupture and severe joint pain

• Increased uric acid levels (hyperuricemia)

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs or symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling, and trouble breathing. Consult a healthcare provider for a complete list of possible adverse effects and discuss any concerns or questions regarding your treatment with Nexletol.

Is Nexletol better than a statin?

Nexletol may be used as a substitute for statins for individuals who can’t tolerate them due to side effects. However, statins are considered more potent than Nexletol for reducing cholesterol levels. Although statins are generally the first-line treatment for high cholesterol, Nexletol may be an option for those seeking alternative drugs to manage cholesterol.

Is Nexletol the same as Zetia?

Nexletol and Zetia are different prescription medications, although both are used to lower cholesterol levels. They work in different ways and may be used separately or together. A combination medication containing bempedoic acid, the active ingredient of Nexletol, and ezetimibe, the active ingredient of Zetia, is available, called Nexlizet.
