When would you consider initiation of bempedoic acid for statin intolerant patients (i.e. LDL threshold, comorbidities)?
How would you assess response to bempedoic acid and its safety on outpatient labs, and how frequently would you have labs monitored?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
Monitor bempedoic acic as you would a statin. I will usually check LDL-C response as well as LFTs within 3 months of starting.
