What is Sybrava?
Sybrava is an innovative therapy designed for individuals with primary hypercholesterolemia, including familial hypercholesterolemia, or mixed dyslipidemia. Unlike daily pills or frequent injections, Sybrava is administered just twice a year after an initial treatment phase.
It works by targeting PCSK9, a protein that affects LDL receptor recycling, thereby helping to significantly lower LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. Clinical studies, such as the ORION trials, have shown that Sybrava can reduce LDL-C levels by up to 52%.

Who Can Benefit from Sybrava?
Sybrava is suitable for:
Familial Hypercholesterolemia: A genetic condition causing high LDL-C levels from birth.
Patients with elevated LDL-C despite being on maximum tolerated statin therapy.
Those who are statin-intolerant or cannot take other lipid-lowering medications.

How Does Sybrava Work?
Sybrava uses RNA interference technology to reduce PCSK9 levels in the liver. By inhibiting PCSK9, it enhances the liver’s ability to clear LDL-C from the bloodstream, leading to improved cholesterol levels and cardiovascular protection.
