Uniquely Designed To Cut Down Cholesterol

Watch how LEQVIO works

The liver plays a key role in clearing bad cholesterol (LDL-C) from the blood, but certain proteins in the liver can interfere with this process. LEQVIO uses the body's natural processes to prevent many of these proteins from forming in the first place, cutting down bad cholesterol for up to 6 months per injection, after the two initial doses.

LEQVIO Clinical Study Results

LEQVIO delivers effective and long-lasting reduction of bad cholesterol (LDL-C)

In a clinical study of people with known heart disease on a statin who needed more help lowering bad cholesterol (LDL-C), people given LEQVIO lowered their bad cholesterol by over 50% and kept it low during each 6-month dosing interval vs placebo (a substance that doesn't contain any medication).

Leqvio plus a statin lowered cholesterol by over 50% and kept it low.

Individual results may vary.

Clinical study information

These results are based on a study in which 1561 patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) were on a maximally tolerated statin with or without another cholesterol-lowering treatment—in addition to LEQVIO (781 patients) or a placebo (780 patients). Cholesterol levels were measured at the start of the study and compared with cholesterol levels 17 months later. Sixty percent of the patients were 65 years or older.

LEQVIO helped patients reach their goal

In clinical studies, 8 out of 10 people taking Leqvio plus a statin achieved their recommended cholesterol goal.

In a clinical study,

people taking LEQVIO + statin achieved the recommended cholesterol goal of <70 mg/dL vs 2 out of 10 people taking statin + placebo at 17 months

Works with your current statin

LEQVIO doesn't replace healthy food choices, regular physical activity, or a statin. Instead, it works with your statin to reduce your bad cholesterol even further.

What is LEQVIO?

LEQVIO (inclisiran) is an injectable prescription medicine used along with diet and other lipid-lowering medicines in adults who need additional lowering of "bad" cholesterol (LDL-C) and have known cardiovascular disease and/or heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH), an inherited condition that causes high levels of LDL-C. It is not known if LEQVIO can decrease problems related to high cholesterol, such as heart attacks or stroke.
