The literature from Drugs.com states the following:
Before taking this medicine
You should not use Repatha if you are allergic to evolocumab.
To make sure Repatha is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had:
liver or kidney disease; or
a latex allergy.
If you are pregnant, your name may be listed on a pregnancy registry to track the effects of evolocumab on the baby.
It may not be safe to breast-feed while using this medicine. Ask your doctor about any risk.
Do not give Repatha to a child without medical advice. Evolocumab is not approved for use by anyone younger than 10 years old. For certain conditions, Repatha should not be given to a child of any age.
