What is Nexletol used for?

Bempedoic acid is used along with a proper diet and other medications to help lower "bad" cholesterol (such as LDL) in the blood. It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol made by the liver. Lowering "bad" cholesterol may help to decrease the risk of heart disease and help prevent strokes and heart attacks. In addition to eating a proper diet (such as a low-cholesterol/low-fat diet), other lifestyle changes that may help this medication work better include exercising, losing weight if overweight, and stopping smoking. Consult your doctor for more details.
