Purpose

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors are FDA-approved for use with diet and adjunct treatment with maximally-tolerated statin therapy in adults with familial hypercholesterolemia or those with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) whose low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is not adequately maintained with the current available treatments. The American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology recommends lifestyle modifications including a healthy diet and physical exercise to improve LDL-C levels. Approvals for PCSK9 inhibitors will be granted for a period of six months.
