My Cardiologist is pushing this new injected cholesterol drug on me now since I refuse statin therapy for my high LDL's. Says I'm a perfect for it since it is familial and the LDL can not be brought down even with diet and lifestyle changes. It supposedly had an excellent trial with very few side effects as compared to statins. Says, the beauty of it is it only reduces the LDL's, so it's a win-win. Statins reduced overall cholesterol. I just don't like "new". Seems like you never know what the real deal is with drugs until years go by. Feel like anyone taking this now is a test case.
