    Costs the Gov / PBS $5400 per year. Your cost $41/month or $6.60/ month if you’re on a concession card.
    Plus the cost to Medicare and/or yourself of going to the GP to have the injection.
    At the very least you’re getting some of your taxes back, and it might extend your life by preventing the heart attack or stroke that might carry you off…..if Covid doesn’t get you.

    Its hard to get.

    Have to demonstrate that you have tried all the others first.

    Yes, I have qualified for it... not the best thing in the world to qualify for, but it seems to be a game changer for those of us who cant get cholesterol levels under control with diet, exersize and drugs like stains etc.

    Hope it works well for you - would be interested in your feedback.

    Statins can be problematic for some.

    Best Wishes

    It wont be in the near future as it needs to go back the the cardiologist as my time has elapsed from the initial approval... That is my fault as i wanted to research it a little before injecting myself with something that seemed new.... funny we all seem to have just done that with covid vax but thats another story..

    My initial reading was all bad , and all from the USA , it seemed some people were suffering sever reactions etc ... but like all forums you very rarely read the good stuff.. So i waited another 6 months whilst i tried some different medication..

    Anyway will see if i can get things rolling without upsetting the cardiologist with Dr google findings...

    Cheers Bulletman
