Send us a question- What are PCSK9 shots, and who gets them?Shots that lower LDL by about 50 to 60% on top of a statin. They're usually for very high risk, familial hypercholesterolemia, or when statins don't suit you.
- What do cholesterol medicines cost without insurance?Generic statins and ezetimibe: often $5 to $15 a month. Newer medicines: about $199 to $356 a month cash.
