I have looked but cannot find many comments about Bempedoic acid as an alternative to Statins. In the past, due to familial raised cholesterol, I have tried Atorvastatin and Rosuvastatin which caused muscle and joint pain. I am currently taking Ezetimibe which has the same effect alongside upset stomach. As my cholesterol levels have not improved much HDL 1.68 LDL 3.84 giving a total of 6.13 I have now been prescribed Bempedoic acid on its own. Has anyone experience of this and does it work? I have read there can be unpleasant side effects from this so am now quite worried. Having been told by one GP that familial raised cholesterol cannot be successfully lowered by diet alone I wonder what may come next if this doesnt work.
