The NHS Is Set To Roll Out A Breakthrough Cholesterol-Lowering Medicine That Has The Potential To Save 30,000 Lives

It has been reported that hundreds of thousands of individuals will soon have access to a cholesterol-lowering medicine that could save 30,000 lives over the next decade.

Over the next three years, the NHS will make the medication available to 300,000 individuals with high cholesterol and a history of cardiovascular disease.

According to executives, the number of patients who will benefit from the new treatment, inclisiran, might reach over half a million after that initial year.

The medicine, which potentially save 55,000 heart attacks and strokes, is given twice a year as an injection and can be combined with other treatments such as statins.
