Detailed Information

How it works

Repatha is a PCSK9 inhibitor that may help lower LDL cholesterol by increasing the liver’s ability to remove LDL from the blood.

It works by targeting a protein that limits LDL receptors, allowing those receptors to clear more cholesterol from circulation. This supports lipid control when combined with diet and other medications.

Clinical applications

According to information on Repatha at IsraelPharm, it’s typically prescribed for patients with high cholesterol, including those with familial hypercholesterolemia or clinical atherosclerosis.

It is often used when statins alone are not enough or cannot be tolerated. Frequency of injection—every 2 weeks or monthly—depends on individual treatment goals.
