Kiwi, good to see you again. I agree, it will be max dose generic statins before PCSK9's. For statin intolerant, try at least one or 2 low dose statins first and if that fails, at $40/day for PCSK9's, a big stack of papers for Doc's to fill out for pre-authorization. By the way, it's still July and I haven't given up on our bet yet!! LOL!!
