How often can PCSK9 inhibitors be administered?

  1. Once every 2 weeks or monthly

  2. Daily

  3. Weekly

  4. Every 6 months

The correct answer is: Once every 2 weeks or monthly

PCSK9 inhibitors are a class of medications used to lower LDL cholesterol levels. They are typically administered either once every 2 weeks or monthly. This dosing frequency is important for maintaining consistent levels of the medication in the body to effectively control cholesterol levels. Daily, weekly, and every 6 months dosing intervals are not commonly seen with PCSK9 inhibitors and would not provide the same level of efficacy in managing cholesterol levels compared to the recommended dosing schedule of once every 2 weeks or monthly.
