Any success with non lipitor cholesterol meds?



While Lipitor (atorvastatin) has been a widely successful cholesterol medication, there have been other non-Lipitor cholesterol medications that have shown promise. One example is Repatha (evolocumab), which is a PCSK9 inhibitor that has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol levels significantly [1]. Another medication is Praluent (alirocumab), which is also a PCSK9 inhibitor that has been shown to reduce LDL cholesterol levels [1]. Additionally, Zetia (ezetimibe) is a medication that works by blocking cholesterol absorption in the small intestine and has been shown to reduce LDL cholesterol levels [2]. It is important to note that the effectiveness of these medications can vary depending on the individual and their specific health needs.
