📋Overview
Juxtapid is a medication used to help manage cholesterol levels in certain individuals with rare genetic lipid disorders. It works by inhibiting the production of lipoproteins that carry cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. This drug is most commonly associated with conditions such as homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, a disorder characterized by extremely high cholesterol levels from birth. Juxtapid is typically considered when other cholesterol-lowering strategies are insufficient.
