Patient summary
Designed to manage blood cholesterol levels and to support to alleviate dyslipidaemia, indicated for patients with insufficient control on lipid-lowering therapies.
Mechanism of action
Bempedoic acid inhibits ATP citrate lyase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis in the liver. By reducing this cholesterol production, it increases LDL receptor activity, thereby lowering circulating LDL-cholesterol levels.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Contraindicated; must not be used. Breastfeeding: Contraindicated due to risk to the infant.
Bempedoic Acid is a lipid-modifying medicine taken by mouth as 180 mg film-coated tablets (bempedoic acid). It is used for hypercholesterolaemia and dyslipidaemia when lipid-lowering therapies have not given enough control. Daiichi Sankyo Europe GmbH is the originator company, and the medicine is also known as Nilemdo.
It inhibits ATP citrate lyase, an enzyme involved in making cholesterol in the liver. With less cholesterol produced there, LDL receptor activity rises and circulating LDL-cholesterol falls. Levels are usually rechecked after 2 to 4 weeks, and treatment is long-term. Bempedoic acid is contraindicated in pregnancy, during breastfeeding and in anyone with a hypersensitivity to it (MedlinePlus). Uric acid levels need monitoring, and tendon rupture requires immediate medical attention, so caution applies to anyone with a history of tendon disorders.
