OT PCSK9 Inhibitors

As part of my ongoing mystery sickness, I visited a cardiologist today. As with other Dr's, he expressed concern about my cholesterol levels.

His suggestion for treatment was not statin, but injectable PCSK9 inhibitors. The most interesting aspect of this treatment is that it nay be possible to only have 2 or 3 injections per year.

Anyone here on a drug such as leqvio or repatha? What has your experience been like? Side effects?

On a side note, strava is effective when talking to drs and being able to quantify that uou actually excercise and the intensity.

I’ve been told I should go on Repatha. I’m not really into self-injection.
I was told it’s either two self-injections (using an autoinjector) per month or one injection at a doctor’s office once a month.
I have not heard anything about two or three injections per year.

Others on the forum are on Repatha.
Waiting for them to reply.
