What does PCSK9 do?
Hyperlipidaemia Mx
Conservative
Medical - Statins
Statins MOA
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor
Reduces intrinsic synthesis of cholesterol in the liver
Statins SEs
Myopathy/rhabdomyolysis
Fatigue
Obesity Mx
Conservative
Bariatric surgery if BMI over 40 or over 35 with comorbidity
Obesity medications MOAs
Orlistat - pancreatic lipase inhibitor
Rimonabant - cannabinoid antagonist
