Product Introduction: Bempedoic acid is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. It is a prodrug, meaning it is converted into its active form, bempedoic acid moiety, in the body. It works by inhibiting ATP citrate lyase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis, thereby reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver.
Uses: Bempedoic acid is primarily prescribed to lower LDL cholesterol levels in adults with familial hypercholesterolemia or established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease who require additional lowering of LDL cholesterol despite maximum tolerated statin therapy or for those who are statin-intolerant.
Benefits: The main benefit of bempedoic acid is its ability to lower LDL cholesterol levels, which reduces the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. It can be particularly beneficial for individuals who cannot tolerate statins or for whom statins alone are insufficient in lowering LDL cholesterol levels adequately.
Side Effects: Common side effects of bempedoic acid may include muscle pain or weakness, nasopharyngitis (inflammation of the nasal passages and throat), urinary tract infections, and increased blood uric acid levels. Less common but more serious side effects may include tendon rupture, allergic reactions, and liver problems.
Safety Advice: Patients taking bempedoic acid should follow their healthcare provider’s instructions carefully. It is important to monitor for any signs of muscle pain or weakness, especially if these symptoms are accompanied by fever or malaise, as they could indicate a rare but serious condition called rhabdomyolysis. Patients should also undergo regular liver function tests while taking bempedoic acid.
Interaction with Drugs: Bempedoic acid may interact with certain medications, including statins, fibrates, and certain immunosuppressants. Patients should inform their healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, and herbal products they are taking before starting bempedoic acid to avoid potential interactions.
