Patient Education

Bempedoic Acid


Bempedoic acid is used together with lifestyle changes (diet, weight-loss, exercise) and certain cholesterol-lowering medications (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors [statins]) to further decrease low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ('bad cholesterol') in the blood of adults with familial heterozygous hypercholesterolemia (HeFH; an inherited condition in which cholesterol cannot be removed from the body normally) or heart disease. Bempedoic acid is in a class of medications called adenosine triphosphate-citrate lyase (ACL) inhibitors. It works by blocking the production of cholesterol in the liver.
