What you will receive
Nexletol is the originator brand name, made by Esperion Therapeutics. We use it to identify the medicine; the pack you receive is a generic equivalent, not the original Nexletol.
- The same active ingredient (Bempedoic acid) at the same strength.
- The exact brand supplied depends on what is in stock when your order ships.
FAQ
Which Nexletol strengths and pack sizes can I order?
One strength, 180mg tablets, in packs of 30, 60, 90, 120 or 180. They contain generic bempedoic acid, not the original Nexletol, and a bigger pack brings the price per tablet down.
How can I pay for Nexletol delivery to Hong Kong?
Nexletol orders are paid by Visa, Mastercard or American Express on a secure, encrypted payment page, or by Bitcoin and Ethereum. Card details never reach the shop's servers. Standard airmail takes 14 to 21 business days, or 30 at most, and is untracked.
Does Nexletol have other names?
Nexletol is a brand name of bempedoic acid, which is also sold as Nilemdo. Here, bempedoic acid can be bought online as generic Nexletol, and also as bempedoic acid tablets. These are generics, not the original brand.
How long does Nexletol take to lower cholesterol?
LDL starts to fall within the first few weeks. A repeat cholesterol test after about three months shows the full effect, so that is the sensible time to compare numbers against your starting level.
Does Nexletol cause muscle pain like statins?
It can cause muscle spasms and aching in the back or limbs. The difference is that it is switched on in the liver, not in muscle, which is why it is used for people who could not stay on a statin.
What time of day should I take Nexletol?
Any time you like, as long as it is around the same time each day. Morning is the easy habit for most people, and a tablet taken with breakfast or without it works the same way.
About Nexletol
Nexletol 180mg for high LDL cholesterol
People search for Nexletol when a statin has not brought their LDL ("bad") cholesterol down far enough, or when they could not stay on one. The tablets sold here under the Nexletol name are generic bempedoic acid in a single strength, 180mg, taken once a day. Bempedoic acid is also used to cut the chance of a heart attack or stroke in adults with heart disease who cannot take statins.
It is not a statin, although the goal is the same. Bempedoic acid blocks ATP citrate lyase, an enzyme a step or two before the one statins block. The tablet is a prodrug, which means it only becomes active once the liver converts it. Muscle cannot do that conversion. Once the liver is making less cholesterol, it clears more LDL from the blood.
Taking it
One 180mg tablet a day, swallowed with a drink. Food makes no difference. It controls cholesterol and does not cure it, so levels drift back up if the tablets stop. A skipped day is not made up with a second tablet.
Side effects and what to watch
The common complaints are muscle spasms, back pain and aching hands or feet. Bempedoic acid raises uric acid in the blood, which can set off gout: a hot, swollen, very painful joint, often the big toe. Tendon rupture is rare but real, and a snap or sudden pain in a tendon such as the Achilles is a reason to stop taking it. It lifts the blood levels of simvastatin and pravastatin, so those two statins are kept to lower doses alongside it. It is not suitable in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Nexletol or plain bempedoic acid?
The shop also lists Bempedoic Acid tablets, with the same ingredient, the same 180mg and the same tablet form; the two differ in name only. The bempedoic acid page covers the ingredient in more depth. Nexlizet, which adds ezetimibe (a second cholesterol medicine) to bempedoic acid in one tablet, is a different product from both of them.
