This medicine is used together with a lowfat diet and other cholesterollowering medications in people with homozygous or heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (inherited types of high cholesterol). These conditions can cause high blood levels of LDL cholesterol, and can also cause plaque to build up inside your arteries.

Repatha is also used to help lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, or other heart complications in people with heart or blood vessel problems caused by plaque buildup or hardening in the arteries (also called atherosclerosis, or arteriosclerosis).

Common side effects may include redness, pain, or bruising where an injection was given, back pain, flu symptoms or cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat.
