An excess amount of LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) can cause plaque to
build up on the interior walls of blood vessels, causing them to narrow.
This can be very dangerous, as it blocks blood-flow to and from the heart
into vital organs. Inclisiran is a newly developed drug that helps fight
high LDL cholesterol.In clinical tests Inclisiran, in conjunction with statins, has shown to
lower LDL cholesterol in the body by more than 50%. The new
treatment achieves this by blocking the actions of the so-called PCSK9
protein, which prevents the recycling of LDL receptors in our body.
Inclisiran is administered by injection under the skin once at the start of
your treatment, again three months later, and then once every six months
from there on out.
