New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/08/2017 -- The cholesterol lowering biologic drugs offers a new, revolutionary alternative for people fighting with cholesterol with the same old treatments. The old method of treating cholesterol elevated levels includes a change in diet and consuming statin pills to prevent the body from making more bad cholesterol. The new class of PCSK-9 inhibitors is being approved by the FDA which works by helping the liver flush out the bad cholesterol instead of preventing the body from making low-density lipoproteins. The FDA has till now approved only two drugs Praluent and Repatha, both made from living things. The PCSK-9 is a protein which binds to the receptors, those which are responsible for getting the bad cholesterol out of the body.

Cholesterol Lowering Biologic Drugs Market: Drivers and Restraints

According to the Indian Council of Medical Research, at least three-fourth of the country's population has dyslipidemia, a condition where the individual has abnormal levels of triglycerides or cholesterol.

Cholesterol Lowering Biologic Drugs Market: Overview

There are two types of cholesterol, the good and the bad cholesterol. High-density lipoproteins also known as good cholesterol is responsible for carrying the bad kind to the liver from where it is removed. However, the low density lipoproteins buildup in the arteries which may block them eventually. This decreases or blocks the blood flow from reaching the brain and the heart leading to cases of stroke or heart disease.

The demand for cholesterol lowering biologics drugs is expected to boom with the added advantages it offers over statins. For instance, both Praluent and Repatha are to be taken every two weeks. The FDA, for now, has approved these two biologics drugs for a specific type of hereditary high cholesterol, but the increasing research developments will expand its application for wider high cholesterol audience. In January 2017, the U.S. Federal District court has decided to remove Praluent from the market. The company has been given a 30 days times to appeal the injunction and work towards a solution.
