Praluent is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as PCSK9 inhibitors. It is used to lower levels of LDL cholesterol, also known as “bad” cholesterol, in the blood. High levels of LDL cholesterol can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, so it is important to keep these levels in check.

Praluent works by blocking a protein called PCSK9, which helps to regulate the amount of LDL cholesterol in the blood. By inhibiting this protein, Praluent can help to lower LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

It is important to note that Praluent is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. It is meant to be used in conjunction with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and other cholesterol-lowering medications as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

As with any medication, Praluent may cause side effects in some individuals. These can include injection site reactions, flu-like symptoms, and allergic reactions. It is important to discuss any concerns or potential side effects with your healthcare provider before starting Praluent.

Overall, Praluent can be an effective tool in managing high cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of heart disease. If you have been prescribed Praluent, be sure to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully and reach out to them with any questions or concerns.
