For the prevention of cardiovascular events and primary hyperlipidemia, including heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, the usual dose of Repatha® is 140 mg every 2 weeks or 420 mg once monthly.
For homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, the usual dose of Repatha® is 420 mg, either once monthly or every two weeks. If you are on apheresis you may initiate treatment with 420 mg every 2 weeks to correspond with your apheresis schedule.
You and your doctor will have discussed your preferred method for taking Repatha®.
If your doctor decides that you or a caregiver can give you your Repatha® injections, you or your caregiver should receive training on the right way to prepare and inject Repatha®.
Do not try to inject Repatha® until you have been shown the right way by a healthcare professional, such as a doctor, nurse or pharmacist.
Always take Repatha® exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor if you are not sure.
