Kaiser Permanente is one of America's leading health care providers and nonprofit health plans, Kaiser has about 12.7 million members, including 9.5 million Californians. Kaiser prescribed an estimated 314,000 PCSK9 injections in 2023, Kaiser is now covering the cost after a patient has tried 2 statins, but Kaiser should soon add NEXLIZET & NEXLETOL on formulary, covering the cost without any restrictions. NEXLIZET as 1st choice over PCSK9's will generate a substantial cost saving of over $1 billion per year for Kaiser, patients will take a once a day pill instead of a injection every two weeks, and avoid two doctor visits every month. Esperion will see a very large increase in revenue, every 100,000 patients will generate nearly $500 million per year for Esperion.
Amgen
$Amgen (AMGN.US)$ and other PCSK9 companies know they will lose market share, a once a day pill is by far the easier and safer option versus an injection, also PCSK9 drugs don't lower HSCRP levels, and that is a BIG concern. NEXLIZET and NEXLETOL significantly lower hscrp levels, they have an edge over statin drugs and pcsk9 injections because they basically have no side effects and do not cause A1C #'s to rise, which is a becoming a serious concern because more and more people are seeing their A1C levels rise while taking a statin drug and at the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Statin drugs have a lot side effects that are concerning, muscle pain & damage, liver & kidney damage, memory loss, dementia, vision problems, dizzy spells, weight gain, low testosterone, erectile dysfunction and much more.
