Posso prendere Evolocumab ed Ezetimibe insieme?

Perché succede

These drugs work in different ways to achieve the same goal. Ezetimibe reduces the amount of cholesterol your body absorbs from food, while evolocumab (a PCSK9 inhibitor) helps your liver clear more cholesterol out of your blood. Because they use different pathways, they have an 'additive' effect, meaning they work together to improve your results without changing how the other drug is processed by the body.

You can safely take these two medicines together as prescribed by your doctor. Ensure you continue to follow any dietary advice provided by your healthcare team and attend your regular blood tests to monitor your cholesterol levels.

Latex allergy - evolocumab

The needle cover of the pre-filled pen or syringe contains dry natural rubber (a derivative of latex), which may cause severe allergic reactions in people with a latex sensitivity.

Malattia del fegato

You must not take ezetimibe if you have active liver disease or unexplained persistent elevations in liver enzymes.

Alcol

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking these medicines. Both evolocumab and ezetimibe are used to lower cholesterol, and regular or heavy alcohol consumption can increase the risk of liver problems and interfere with the effectiveness of your treatment.
