About this active substance

Inclisiran is a medication used to lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) levels in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of the PCSK9 protein, which increases the removal of LDL cholesterol from the blood.

The medication is administered as a subcutaneous injection, usually once every few months, as directed by a doctor.

Side effects may include injection site reactions, flu-like symptoms, or muscle pain. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions may occur.

Patients should follow the recommended treatment schedule and inform their doctor about any other medications they are taking. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a specialist before use.
