About that $140 Repatha pen from India? Yeah, not for long if everything goes how it should. .

Theres plenty of vendors..I'm not that worried tbh..lol

Supposedly China has the technology to reliability produce SiRNAs. Would be cool to see them produce. PCSK9i like Leqviio.

anyone has a source for Bempedoic acid in europe?

which indian vendor?

Pita or Prava over the rest, along with Ezetimibe. Safest profile.

Got the rest of my PCT247 order today, which included some Bemp/Eze tablets. I'm not keen on the tendon rupture risk. The absolute risk is low, but it's still more than placebo. I'm also usually the one that gets corner case symptoms of everything, so... I'll try it and drop it quickly if I get any telltale signs of tendon anger. I hate wasting these standalone Ezetimibe tablets, though.

well maybe there is something to take to lower uric acid while the bempedoic acid raises it , maybe also lifestyle changes

i thought that it was too temperature sensitive?

Uric Acid actually came back low on labs, so at least for right now it's not going to be an issue. Lifestyle-wise, I'm not sure how much wiggle room I have. Diet is strictly controlled both in macros and quality.. all clean/organic. Don't drink, smoke, or anything vice-wise. I do have an AAS habit, though. Admittedly, I don't even remember how uric acid gets produced. I look shit up all the time and promptly forget it. Next labs a little over two months out, which will get me deep into Bemp territory, so I'll know better then. These last labs were a little early.

Have a script for Atorvastatin, always been afraid to touch it. Been using 1200mg Red Yeast Rice with 100mg COQ10, I might start taking the statin this week, since I’ve recently started a blast

I fear for the metabolic effects of the drug (reduced insulin sensitivity, muscle aches) but I suppose it’s safe to use, especially since I’m on cycle

I'm taking simvastatin that has a similar side effects profile (not very good, there are better statins) and I think it is worth it. In low or moderate doses of these statins the insulin sensitivity should be very minimally affected and reducing LDL is really important. If all you have is atorvastatin, I'd take it, at least while on cycle.

That being said, in the next visit to my doctor I'll complain about muscle aches and I'll try to get rosu or pita prescribed instead. The side effects profile on those is way better.
