Cardiology Injection Therapy in Toms River, NJ

Overview

Cardiologists care for the heart and blood vessels. One of the most important ways to protect them is lowering LDL ("bad") cholesterol. When diet, exercise and statins aren't enough, a cardiologist may prescribe a medicine given by injection in a clinical setting. Infuse Care gives these cardiologist-prescribed injections in private suites and keeps your cardiology team informed.

Conditions We Support

• High LDL cholesterol, including familial hypercholesterolemia, in adults who need additional LDL lowering

Therapies That May Be Available at Infuse Care

• Leqvio (inclisiran): injection under the skin by a healthcare professional; a first dose, a second dose three months later, then one dose every six months

Whether this therapy is right for you depends on your cholesterol levels, heart risk and your cardiologist's order.

How Treatment May Help

Leqvio helps the liver clear more LDL cholesterol from the blood. It is used together with diet and, for most patients, a statin. Because it is given only twice a year after the first two doses, it can make long-term treatment easier to keep up with.

Treatment Considerations

Injection-site reactions are the most common side effect. Your provider will keep checking your cholesterol to see how well treatment is working. Our clinical team reviews each referral before scheduling.

Your prescribing provider decides which treatment is right for you. Infuse Care administers prescribed therapies after a referral, a clinical review and any required insurance authorization, and we keep your provider's office updated on your care.
