New Drug For High Cholesterol?

[erijon]

Here's an interesting read about a new drug being tested to be administered in the form of a monthly shot to reduce LDL. The first study group was small, but it is now being tested on patients with high levels of LDL. The intent is to enhance the performance of cholesterol lowering drugs in patients not getting the desired results or for those that can not tolerate statins. The initial results claim up to a 64% decrease in LDL, that is huge.

Take a look;

Yes, thank you for posting this. I had not heard about this study. It sounds promising for all of us that can not tolerate statins.

Hi, yes I heard about this but it is still in the stdy mode. I cannot take any statins at all and it is so hard for me to try and eat the right food. Thanks for the link.
