FAQ
Which Bempedoic Acid strength and pack sizes can I order?
Bempedoic Acid comes as 180mg tablets. Pack sizes range from 30 to 180 tablets. Larger packs cost less per tablet.
How can I pay for Bempedoic Acid delivery to Hong Kong?
You can pay for bempedoic acid by Visa, Mastercard or American Express on a secure, encrypted payment page, or by Bitcoin or Ethereum. Card details never reach the shop's servers. Tracked courier takes 5 to 9 business days with online tracking.
What is another name for bempedoic acid?
Brand names for bempedoic acid include Nexletol and Nilemdo. Bempedoic acid tablets are a pure generic bempedoic acid product and are not any of those brands. Here, bempedoic acid can also be bought online as generic Nexletol.
Can bempedoic acid be taken with a statin?
Yes. It is often taken alongside a statin, and some people use it instead because statins gave them muscle aches. One practical detail: simvastatin and pravastatin are handled differently when bempedoic acid is in the picture, so those two are usually given at a lower dose.
How is bempedoic acid different from ezetimibe?
They lower cholesterol in different ways. Ezetimibe reduces how much cholesterol is absorbed from food in the gut, while bempedoic acid slows the liver's own cholesterol production. Because the routes differ, the two are sometimes combined, and there is a single tablet that contains both.
Does bempedoic acid cause muscle aches like statins?
Muscle cramps and aches in the hands or feet are among its more common side effects, but they are usually mild and often ease with time. It is frequently chosen by people who had to stop a statin because of muscle pain, since it works in the liver rather than in muscle tissue.
How long does bempedoic acid take to lower cholesterol?
The fall is gradual. LDL cholesterol comes down over the first weeks of daily use rather than dropping after a single tablet, and it stays down only while the tablets are taken. It is not a medicine that works from one dose.
About Bempedoic Acid
What bempedoic acid does
Bempedoic acid is a cholesterol medicine for people whose LDL, the "bad" cholesterol, stays high. That includes an inherited form of high cholesterol and people whose statin gave them muscle aches. The tablet works inside the liver, where it blocks an enzyme the body uses early in making its own cholesterol. The liver then makes less and takes more LDL out of the blood. Fatty deposits that narrow blood vessels lead to heart attack and stroke, and bempedoic acid also lowers that risk in people who already have heart disease or are at high risk of it.
One tablet a day
Take one 180mg tablet each day, with or without a meal. Pick a time that fits your routine and keep to it. The tablet holds cholesterol down but does not cure the underlying problem, so levels climb back once you stop. Leave the tablets in the container they came in, with the lid shut.
Side effects worth knowing about
Muscle cramps, back pain and aching hands or feet are what people notice most, and they often fade. The tablet also pushes uric acid up, which can set off gout: a joint, often the big toe, turns suddenly painful, red, hot and swollen.
Some effects are rarer. Tendon damage shows as a snap or pop, bruising around the tendon, or an arm or leg that will not move or take weight. Nausea, vomiting or pain high on the right of the abdomen can mean the gallbladder is involved. Tiredness, pale skin, dizziness and breathlessness can mean low red blood cells. A rash with flushing, itching, a swollen face, lips or throat, trouble breathing, faintness or a pounding heartbeat is an emergency.
Taking it with simvastatin or pravastatin raises the level of those two statins in the blood, so their doses sometimes need adjusting.
Bempedoic acid and Nexletol
Nexletol contains the same 180mg of bempedoic acid in a tablet, under the brand name the medicine was launched with. Both are 180mg tablets sold in packs of 30 to 180, and the daily routine, the side effects and the storage are the same whichever name is on the box. The ingredient itself, with its other forms, is covered under bempedoic acid.
