What Is Repatha (Evolocumab)?
Repatha is a brand-name PCSK9 inhibitor biologic (evolocumab) that dramatically lowers LDL cholesterol. It is FDA-approved for adults with heterozygous or homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), established cardiovascular disease (atherosclerotic CVD), and for adults with primary hyperlipidemia who cannot reach target LDL levels on statins.
How Does Repatha Work?
PCSK9 is a protein in the liver that destroys LDL receptors — the receptors responsible for clearing LDL cholesterol from the blood. By blocking PCSK9, Repatha preserves more LDL receptors on liver cells, allowing them to remove more LDL from the bloodstream. In clinical trials (FOURIER study), Repatha reduced LDL by an average of 59% and cut the risk of heart attack by 27% in high-risk patients.
Dosage and Administration
Repatha SureClick is a prefilled autoinjector for subcutaneous injection:
- 140 mg every 2 weeks, or
- 420 mg once monthly (three 140 mg injections given consecutively over 30 minutes)
Injections go into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. The SureClick device is designed for self-injection at home after training — no clinic visit needed for ongoing dosing.
Who Should Consider Repatha?
- Adults with LDL ≥ 70 mg/dL despite maximum tolerated statin therapy
- Patients with established heart disease who need additional LDL lowering
- Adults with familial hypercholesterolemia (inherited high cholesterol)
- Statin-intolerant patients who need significant LDL reduction
Side Effects
Repatha is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are mild injection site reactions (redness, bruising, pain), upper respiratory infections, and flu-like symptoms.
Cost and Savings
Repatha can be expensive without insurance, but Amgen offers a patient savings program. Use Rx.com to find the best available price in your area and access copay assistance.
