What is Praluent (Alirocumab)?

Praluent (Alirocumab) is a prescription medication used to lower LDL cholesterol levels. It is a PCSK9 inhibitor that works by increasing the liver’s ability to remove LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream. Praluent is typically prescribed for patients with cardiovascular disease or those with high cholesterol who require additional lipid-lowering therapy beyond statins.

Why Buy Praluent from Canada?

U.S. patients can save significantly by purchasing Praluent from licensed Canadian pharmacies. Due to regulatory differences, cholesterol-lowering medications like Praluent are available at a much lower cost in Canada. Ordering from a trusted online Canadian pharmacy ensures you receive the same high-quality medication at a reduced price.

How Does Praluent Work?

Praluent blocks the activity of the PCSK9 protein, which normally reduces the number of LDL receptors in the liver. By inhibiting PCSK9, Praluent increases LDL receptor availability, helping to remove more LDL cholesterol from the blood. This process leads to a significant reduction in cholesterol levels and reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.

Dosage and Administration

Praluent is available in two strengths: 75 mg/mL and 150 mg/mL, administered as a subcutaneous injection. The typical starting dose is 75 mg every two weeks, which may be increased to 150 mg every two weeks if additional cholesterol reduction is needed. Alternatively, some patients may receive a 300 mg dose every four weeks.

Side Effects of Praluent

While Praluent is well tolerated by most patients, some may experience side effects, including:

• Injection site reactions (pain, redness, swelling)
• Cold or flu-like symptoms
• Muscle pain
• Fatigue
• In rare cases, serious allergic reactions

If you experience persistent or severe side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Drug Interactions

Praluent has not shown significant interactions with most common medications, including statins like atorvastatin and rosuvastatin. However, patients should inform their doctor about all medications they are taking to ensure safety, especially if they are using other cholesterol-lowering therapies.

Comparing Praluent to Other Cholesterol Medications

Praluent is often compared to another PCSK9 inhibitor, Repatha (Evolocumab). While both drugs work similarly to lower LDL cholesterol, dosing schedules and individual patient responses may differ. Unlike statins, which work by reducing cholesterol production, Praluent directly enhances the liver’s ability to remove LDL cholesterol, making it a valuable option for those who do not achieve optimal results with statins alone.

How to Store Praluent

Praluent should be stored in the refrigerator at a temperature between 36°F and 46°F (2°C to 8°C). If necessary, it can be kept at room temperature (up to 77°F or 25°C) for up to 30 days. Avoid freezing the medication or exposing it to high heat. Always keep it in its original packaging to protect it from light.

How Long Does Praluent Take to Work?

Praluent starts lowering LDL cholesterol levels within days of administration, with full effects typically seen within 4 to 8 weeks. Your doctor will monitor cholesterol levels and adjust the dose as needed to ensure optimal results.
