"Could not get my cholesterol down for over 40 years. Statins made me sore, achy, and did not lower my numbers. Swelling around face, ears, and throat. After stents from a heart attack, my primary doc asked if I would try Bempedoic acid. I tried it, and it worked great, lower numbers. Feeling great. Nexlizet works. I have also lost weight on the drug. Been on a Mediterranean diet for over 30 years. Fish, veggies, etc."

"Stopped Repatha after 4 years due to rather severe resulting side effects. Started Nexletol, which decreased total cholesterol from 251 to 192 in 3 months. Changed to Nexlizet and further reduced total cholesterol to 149. So, after 7 months, great results with no noticeable side effects. Last blood test, uric acid went down a point."

"Been on Nexlizet 180/10 now for approx. 6 months. Has done a great job of lowering my cholesterol, now 165 total. Very few side effects, only one that is noticeable is a small tingling in my legs below the knee and every few days night-time leg cramps, mostly if I work outside and do much sweating. I may try cutting back on the once a day and go to every other day and see what the cholesterol is on my next Dr. appointment."

"After starting Nexlizet for high cholesterol, I experienced remarkable results within just 4 weeks of treatment. The medication, which combines bempedoic acid and ezetimibe, successfully cut my LDL cholesterol levels in half and brought me within my target range. Working alongside my other cholesterol medication, Repatha, Nexlizet proved to be highly effective as part of my comprehensive cholesterol management approach. What I particularly appreciate about Nexlizet is that I haven't experienced any muscle-related side effects that are common with older cholesterol medications, and it feels like a modern, innovative approach to managing cholesterol."

"After only 5 weeks of using samples, total went from 245 to 174. All numbers in my lipid profile are within normal range for the first time in years. Had some trouble getting it approved for my insurance and still pricey even using a co-pay card, but will continue as long as I can afford it. Hopefully, they will add it to my formulary soon. No negative side effects."

"Was on a statin before and had horrible muscle aches. Have used Nexlizet for several months now and no side effects, but it's also brought all my levels down to where they need to be. Great drug"

"Nexlizet works great for me. I have no side effects. I prefer taking Nexlizet instead of the Repatha injection. My results are the same. I'm glad my doctor was able to get me on Nexlizet."

"I was feeling fine the last 3 weeks. I started having a lot of pain in my breast, so I stopped taking the medication, and I'm feeling better."

"Nexlizet is life-changing, a must try. I was taking Repatha, but I had injection site side effects, and my numbers were going back up. My doctor said that because of the rapid clearing of antibodies, Repatha wasn't working as well as it did when I started taking it. Now I have been on Nexlizet. I use the specialty pharmacy ASPN, and I pay $25 a month on the bridge program until my insurance covers it. Nexlizet has dropped my numbers significantly. I have no side effects and feel great."
