How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (REPATHA). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Evolocumab is a human monoclonal IgG2 directed against human proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9).

PCSK9 binds to the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) on the surface of hepatocytes to promote LDLR degradation within the liver.

The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
How it leaves the body

Renal Impairment Since monoclonal antibodies are not known to be eliminated via renal pathways, renal function is not expected to impact the pharmacokinetics of evolocumab.
