What is PRALUENT®(alirocumab)?
PRALUENT®: a PCSK9i that ticks all the boxes1–4
PRALUENT is a PCSK9i that reduces the levels of LDL-C in the blood.2 It is a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that works by inhibiting the binding of PCSK9 to LDL- receptors. As a result, PRALUENT increases the number of LDL-receptors available to clear LDL, thereby lowering LDL-C levels.2 Elevated LDL-C levels have been significantly associated with cardiovascular disease such as heart attacks and strokes.1
What is TTP? A rare, life-threatening medical emergency

When to suspect TTP?
TTP is rare and presents similarly to other thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs), making it difficult to diagnose.
