Only 1 injection will work for cholesterol! Everyday medicine will not be needed, scientists discovered treatment

New cholesterol -reducing drug: Cholesterol is considered a silent killer, because it continues to grow in our body without any symptoms. When the cholesterol level is high, a heart attack or stroke comes. Most people are not able to find out at the right time of increased cholesterol. To control cholesterol, people have to take many medicines including statin daily. However, now scientists have discovered a revolutionary drug for cholesterol treatment. By taking just one injection of this drug, the bad cholesterol stored in the body can be reduced by 69%.

According to BCC Science Focus report The name of the drug designed to reduce cholesterol is VRVE-102. It is a gene-editing medicine, which can prove revolutionary in reducing cholesterol. This drug closes the gene called PCSK9 in the body. This gene controls the procedure in the liver, which cleans the bad cholesterol (LDL) with blood. When this gene becomes inactive, the liver starts removing cholesterol more well, which reduces the LDL level in the body. The effect of an injection of this medicine can last longer.

Professor Riyaz Patel, an academic cardiologist at University College of London, participated in this new drug trial. He told that the new drug controlling cholesterol is now a reality. This is not a science fiction. This new medicine will bring a big change in cholesterol management. The clinical trial of VERVE-102 was performed on 14 patients, who had a genetic disease, which had a lot of LDL cholesterol level in their body. Different doses of the medicine were given and all the patients tolerated it well. LDL cholesterol saw a decrease of up to 69% in a patient taking the highest dose. The average reduced average from 21% to 53% in low and medium dose.

According to the research experts, medicines like statin can also reduce cholesterol, but they have to be taken daily. The biggest advantage of VERVE-102 is that only one injection has long effect and cholesterol control. This can be especially useful for those who are difficult to take medicines daily or who do not get the full benefit of Statin. According to health experts, if the level of cholesterol is more than normal, then blockage can be made in the arteries of blood, which can cause heart attack or stroke. Millions of people around the world take medicines daily to avoid this danger.

If the VRVE-102 drug proves to be widely effective and safe, it can become easy and long term solution for people to control cholesterol. The initial trial results of this drug are good, but this study has not yet been a peer-review and its scale was also small. Now the next step will have to be tried on a large scale so that its long -term impact and safety can be confirmed. If further trials are also successful, then a new revolution may come in the treatment of VervE-102 cholesterol and heart disease. This can be the beginning of a new era of gene-based treatments.
