WHAT PRALUENT IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT PRALUENT IS
•
Praluent contains the active substance alirocumab.
•
Praluent is a monoclonal antibody (a type of specialised protein
designed to attach to a target
substance in the body). Monoclonal antibodies are proteins that
recognise and bind to other unique
proteins. Alirocumab binds to PCSK9.
HOW PRALUENT WORKS
Praluent helps lower your levels of “bad” cholesterol (also called
“LDL cholesterol”). Praluent blocks a
protein called PCSK9.
•
PCSK9 is a protein secreted by liver cells.
•
“Bad” cholesterol is normally removed from your blood by binding
to specific “receptors” (docking
stations) in your liver.
•
PCSK9 lowers the number of these receptors in the liver – this
causes your “bad” cholesterol to be
higher than it should.
•
By blocking PCSK9, Praluent increases the number of receptors
available to help remove the “bad”
cholesterol – this lowers your “bad” cholesterol levels.
