FDA Approves First PCSK9 Pill for Cholesterol | US News

Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description

FDA just approved Lipfendra, the first daily pill targeting PCSK9 to slash bad cholesterol—offering a cheaper, no-shot alternative to pricey injectables. At $315/month, it’s a game-changer for adults on max statins, slashing LDL by 56-59% in trials. Cardiologists are thrilled: this could make cholesterol control as routine as a daily statin, empowering primary care doctors and helping meet new heart attack/stroke prevention goals.
