What Leqvio is and what it is used for
What Leqvio is and how it works
Leqvio contains the active substance inclisiran. Inclisiran lowers levels of LDL-cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol), which can cause heart and blood circulation problems when levels are raised.
Inclisiran works by interfering with RNA (genetic material in body cells) to limit the production of a protein called PCSK9. This protein can increase LDL-cholesterol levels and preventing its production helps to lower your LDL-cholesterol levels.
What Leqvio is used for
Leqvio is used in addition to your cholesterol-lowering diet if you are an adult with a high cholesterol level in your blood (primary hypercholesterolaemia, including heterozygous familial and non-familial, or mixed dyslipidaemia).
Leqvio is given: together with a statin (a type of medicine that treats high cholesterol), sometimes combined with another cholesterol-lowering treatment if the maximum dose of the statin does not work well enough, or - 2. alone or together with other cholesterol-lowering medicines when statins do not work well or cannot be used.
