Patient summary
Designed to manage blood cholesterol levels and to support to alleviate dyslipidaemia, indicated for patients with insufficient control on lipid-lowering therapies.
Mechanism of action
Bempedoic acid inhibits ATP citrate lyase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis in the liver. By reducing this cholesterol production, it increases LDL receptor activity, thereby lowering circulating LDL-cholesterol levels.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Contraindicated; must not be used. Breastfeeding: Contraindicated due to risk to the infant.
Bempedoic acid is a newer cholesterol-lowering medicine that blocks cholesterol production in the liver at a different step from statins. It is used for high cholesterol, alone or with a statin or ezetimibe. It comes as 180 mg tablets; the original brands are Nexletol and Nilemdo.
Tell your doctor first if you have or have ever had gout, tendon problems, gallbladder problems, or kidney or liver disease. Stop it and get emergency help for a rash, hives, swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing (MedlinePlus).
