Evkeeza 345mg/2.3ml Inj Sol 2.3ml is a new drug approved for treating Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH), a rare genetic condition causing extremely high cholesterol levels. Unlike other cholesterol medications, Evkeeza targets the ANGPTL3 protein, helping the body remove bad cholesterol and fats from the blood. Given its intravenous infusion once a month, I'm curious about the practicalities of this treatment. How do patients cope with the monthly infusions? What are the most common side effects experienced, and how do healthcare providers manage them? Are there any long-term studies available on the drug's effectiveness and potential risks?
