What is LEQVIO®?
LEQVIO® is indicated in adults with primary hypercholesterolemia (heterozygous familial and non-familial) or mixed dyslipidemia, as an adjunct to diet:
- in combination with a statin or statin with other lipid-lowering therapies in patients unable to reach LDL-C goals with the maximum tolerated dose of a statin.
- alone or in combination with other lipid-lowering therapies in patients who are statin-intolerant, or for whom a statin is contraindicated.
LEQVIO® is the first and only LDL-C-lowering therapy that is dosed twice a year. Reduction of LDL-C is expected to improve cardiovascular outcomes. (The effect of LEQVIO® on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has not been determined.)1-4
*LEQVIO® is dosed initially, again at 3 months, and then once every 6 months.3
†LDL-C reduction was maintained during each 6-month dosing interval.3
