Repatha

Repatha (generic name: evolocumab) is a prescription medication used to lower cholesterol levels, particularly LDL cholesterol, which is often referred to as "bad" cholesterol. It is a type of drug known as a PCSK9 inhibitor, which works by blocking a protein that can increase cholesterol levels in the blood. Repatha is typically prescribed for individuals who have high cholesterol despite diet and other medications, as well as for those with certain heart conditions. It is administered via injection and can help reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
