I'm not on Repatha, but I'm a Certified Medical Assistant. I'm familiar with how Repatha works. My job 18+ years before I got sick, was getting my patients approved for Repatha or Praludent along with training and teaching of how those two medications work. I was in charge of that program. I will tell you those two medications greatly help reduce your LDL. I saw the proof in patients blood work. I also had to report any side affects it reactions those patients had. Out of the four years I worked with those two programs, I only had 2 patients who had any side affects, but both was because those patients was allergic to those medications. Nothing seriously. I believe in those medications. They help patients that have a hard time getting their cholesterol under control and keeping their LDL down, Repatha and Pradulent are the medications for that. I was given the chance to learn more about these medications, not just what the drug reps would come and tell us. I was invited to a couple of their learning sessions. I actually had the highest approval rate of getting my doctors patients approved in that where I worked from any of the other doctors offices. I saw what the results was and I wanted my patients who needed help getting their LDL to be able to afforded those medications. If you even get in a bind with not getting your Repatha in time, talk with your doctor. Most offices should have samples to give you. Ask. I will tell toy if I ever have an issue with my LDL, I will be letting the doctor know that I want to be on Repatha or Pradulent.
Have a great day
