FILE - This undated file image provided by Amgen Inc. shows the cholesterol-lowering drug Repatha. Breakthrough cholesterol drugs Repatha and Praluent have barely sold since being approved by U.S. regulators in the summer of 2015. The injectable medications promise to reduce artery-clogging cholesterol by nearly twice as much as older medications, but their prices are expensive compared to older statin pills, the longtime standard treatment for lowering cholesterol.
