Product Introduction
Repatha Sure Click 140mg injection is a lipid-lowering agent containing the active ingredient Evolocumab. It belongs to the class of PCSK9 Inhibitors. This medicine is indicated for adults with elevated cholesterol levels, as adjunctive therapy to other cholesterol-lowering medications, or as monotherapy when other treatments prove inadequate. It is also used in children aged 10 years and older with hypercholesterolaemia from familial conditions, and in adults with elevated cholesterol and a history of cardiovascular disease. It works alongside a cholesterol-lowering diet to help prevent cardiac complications resulting from arterial fatty deposits. Do not take Repatha Sure Click 140mg injection if you are allergic to Evolocumab or any ingredients in the formulation. Before commencing treatment, inform your physician of any current or past liver disease. If you develop angioedema or signs of severe allergic reaction, discontinue this medicine, seek immediate medical attention, and follow appropriate medical procedures. Inform your healthcare provider at once; your doctor will monitor you until symptoms resolve. This medicine has not been studied in children under 10 years of age.
