"LDL has lowered to the required level. But experienced elevated liver ALTs. Has anyone else observed this? Also, headaches, fatigue, and bowel movements became terrible. Taken 2 doses and won't be taking the third now."

Inclisiran "I could not take statins without side effects. Sore muscles, aching joints. I was crying at night, could not sleep. After using Leqvio for 2 doses, I don't even need to take any statins. I also changed the way I eat."

"First dose in January. Injection site was painful for a good two weeks. Glad it was in my thigh. Two weeks post shot, I have been having trouble sleeping. I feel as though I've drank ten cups of coffee and am jittery. I actually quit drinking my one cup of coffee in hopes that it would solve the problem, but it did not. I guess I am not sure if it is the shot or something else."

Inclisiran "The side effects listed are about right. Had some periods of dizziness too. I have had bouts of big-time fatigue, and I think that is a result of the Leqvio. The side effects are aggravating, but in general, are worth it for the results."

Inclisiran "First of all, I see a functional dietitian. Following a strict diet, regular exercise, and taking magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin K, I was able to drop 20 lbs in a year. My starting cholesterol was 315 and with a low-fat, no seed oil, higher protein diet, I was able to get my cholesterol down to 235. My LDL-C was 170. CA score of 165. So here I am, I had my first shot of Leqvio. Side effects are exhaustion, headaches, and foot and hand cramps. Extra water and magnesium seem to help."

"I was told it had not thrown up any side effects, but in actual fact, there are many documented. I've had a lot of musculoskeletal problems, aches, pain, unable to function well in the day, confusion, sleeping like a log, can't get up in the morning. I'm going to have one more injection. If the same happens again, I'm stopping it."
