It lowered my cholesterol a lot better than statins and has fewer side effects. The main problem I have with it is muscle pains, mostly at night. But I was really happy to hear that my cholesterol has finally gone down to a good place after many years and it took approx. 6 months. I recommend using this instead any statin.

I just want to say that if statins gave you problems then Repatha may also give you problems. Do a web search on "Repatha and peripheral neuropathy". Most people would rather die early because of high cholesterol than live with the peripheral neuropathy that cholesterol lowering drugs can cause.

I and my Cardiologist are very happy with Repatha Surclik. I have been taking just under a year and am blessed with no side effects.

This drug definitely lowed my cholesterol. I was told by my doctor there were relatively NO side effects. I originally though I pulled my back out and then developed leg and hip pain so badly that I went to an orthopedist.

I originally though I pulled my back out and then developed leg and hip pain so badly that I went to an orthopedist. He said my X-rays didnâ??t show anything but I had so much weakness in my left side that he recommended I use a Cane and start physical therapy. Both of my hands became weak and I started having difficulty opening jars. I am 59 years old and it finally became clear that it was this drug that I was told had no side effects was causing all this pain and damage to my muscles and joints. I stopped the drug two months ago and began improving immediately. I hope that there is no permanent damage caused by this drug. It is so discouraging that this medication is supposed to replace statins turns out to have much worse side effects!!!

I took the 2 weekly injections for about 8 months. My went down to 71. BUT the side effects were so bad, I stooped after my last injection in September 2017. Side effects started with thick white mucus and coughing. Then the feet and leg swelling, HUGE, could not wear any shoes. One morning woke up choking on thick, sticky, white stringy mucus, that I had to actually pull from my throat. GROSS. No ... Show Full Comment

I took the 2 weekly injections for about 8 months. My went down to 71. BUT the side effects were so bad, I stooped after my last injection in September 2017. Side effects started with thick white mucus and coughing. Then the feet and leg swelling, HUGE, could not wear any shoes. One morning woke up choking on thick, sticky, white stringy mucus, that I had to actually pull from my throat. GROSS. Not long after my legs started to collapse, like they did with the Statin drugs. Then shortly, my feet, legs started burning and hurting so bad I cried, ( I am 74. I have to REALLY hurt to do that) Went to Dr. he diagnosed it Nephropathy. Gave me Meds for that. But I still had severe muscle pain and couldn't walk 10 feet. I have since regained some of the leg and feet strength, even though it seems with the damage to the nerves and muscles will never be as good as they should be and the burning sensation and pain will stay. Seems the damage is done.
