About EVKEEZA

EVKEEZA is a prescription medication used to treat adults with certain types of high cholesterol, specifically those with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH). It is a monoclonal antibody that targets and binds to PCSK9, a protein that plays a key role in the regulation of cholesterol levels in the blood.

Key Benefits & Uses

• Treatment of adults with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) to reduce levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)
• Reduction of cardiovascular risk in adults with HoFH
• Management of high cholesterol in adults with HoFH who require additional lowering of LDL-C

Active Ingredient & Action

EVKEEZA contains the active ingredient EVINACUMAB, a human monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to PCSK9, preventing it from binding to the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) on the surface of liver cells. This action leads to an increase in the number of LDLR on the surface of liver cells, resulting in increased clearance of LDL-C from the blood and a reduction in LDL-C levels.

Important Notes

EVKEEZA is available only by prescription and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It is not a substitute for diet and exercise, and patients should continue to follow a healthy diet and exercise regimen while taking EVKEEZA. Common side effects of EVKEEZA may include injection site reactions, muscle pain, and flu-like symptoms. Patients should report any side effects to their healthcare professional promptly.
