Leqvio
Leqvio helps lower "bad" cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with high cholesterol. Achieving and sustaining lower LDL-C levels may help decrease the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other heart disease complications. Leqvio is used along with a healthy diet and regular exercise and may be given with or without other cholesterol-lowering medications, such as statins.

What to Expect During Your Infusion or Injection
Before your infusion or injection, it is important to drink plenty of water and come to your appointment hydrated. Additionally, you must alert us as soon as possible to any changes in your insurance to ensure that we are still an in-network provider for your therapy.
- Pure doesn’t believe in waiting rooms. You’ll be taken to your own private suite where you’ll check in and your nurse will take your vitals and complete a pre-assessment.
- To begin treatment, subcutaneous injections are inserted under the skin, or an IV line will be inserted into your arm or hand and the medication will be connected to the IV line. The nurse will monitor you carefully, especially the first few minutes, to watch for reactions or side effects and make sure you’re comfortable.
- When the treatment is complete, the nurse will apply a bandage. Your nurse will give you instructions on side effects to watch for and when to seek help. You may be asked to stay for a short observation period.
- You can resume normal activities, though you may feel tired or need to rest. Drink water and eat a light meal to help with fatigue or nausea.
