Mipomersen is a cholesterol-lowering medication. It reduces blood levels of "bad" cholesterol, such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL), apolipoprotein-B (apo-B), or non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL).

Mipomersen is used together with a low-fat diet and other treatments to lower total cholesterol in people with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (an inherited type of high cholesterol). Mipomersen is not for use in people with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.

It is not known whether mipomersen will lower your risk of heart disease.

Mipomersen is available only from a certified pharmacy under a special program called Kynamro REMS. Your doctor must be registered in the program in order to prescribe mipomersen for you.
