Description
For adults with heart disease, Repathais a treatment that dramatically lowers LDL bad cholesterol and reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke.
For treating primary hyperlipidemia, the recommended dose of Repatha is either:
- 140 mg given by subcutaneous injection every 2 weeks
- 420 mg given by subcutaneous injection once every month
If your doctor prescribes the 140-mg dose, you’ll use either a prefilled syringe or the prefilled SureClick autoinjector for your dose.
If your doctor prescribes the 420-mg dose, you can use the Pushtronex system to inject a prefilled cartridge over 5 minutes. Or you can use the SureClick autoinjector or prefilled syringe to give three consecutive injections within 30 minutes.
