How often is Repatha (evolocumab) injected?
Repatha is typically given either as:
- 140 mg once every 2 weeks, or
- 420 mg once every month
The exact schedule depends on the dose your clinician prescribes.
What if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, follow your prescriber’s instructions or the medication guide for your specific Repatha dosing schedule. Since the timing matters (weekly/biweekly vs monthly), the “next dose” plan is usually individualized based on how late the missed dose is.
Repatha’s injection schedule by device (what patients usually choose)
Repatha is available in different injection formats (for example, autoinjector or prefilled syringe), but the injection frequency is determined by the prescribed regimen (every 2 weeks vs once monthly), not just the device.
Can I switch between every-2-weeks and monthly?
Switching is sometimes possible under clinician guidance if your treatment plan changes. Your schedule should be confirmed by your prescriber because moving between regimens affects when your next dose is due.
Who decides the schedule?
Your prescribing clinician sets the schedule based on your diagnosis and overall treatment plan, including whether you’re using Repatha alone or with other lipid-lowering therapy.
