Evolocumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9.

Repatha belongs to a class of medications called PCSK9 inhibitors.

These drugs help your body remove LDL (“bad”) cholesterol more effectively than it could on its own.

They work differently than other drugs used for high cholesterol, such as statins, and have different side effects as well.

Your doctor will likely prescribe Repatha along with certain dietary changes or other cholesterol medications to treat this condition.
