Inclisiran

At The De Parys Group, we continually strive to deliver the best care and improve on patient management to reduce the risk of disease.

You may be aware of a medication called Inclisiran that has recently been assessed by NICE (National Institute of Health and Care Excellence) and accepted to assist in the treatment of people who have vascular disease or have had cardiovascular events (Stroke/ Heart attacks/ Coronary heart Disease).

Our records show that you may benefit from this medication.

Inclisiran works alongside statins, or other medications that patients are taking, to reduce their cholesterol.

The treatment is given as an injection subcutaneously at an interval of two doses three months apart, then every 6 months which would be administered by a practice nurse at the surgery.

If you are eligible for the Inclisiran medication, our team will contact you to ask whether you would like to:

• Decline the treatment
• Start this treatment
• Discuss it further with a clinician
