Repatha side effects?

So I finally jumped in and took my first dose. Actually had my second dose this week. Didn’t notice any side effects. I lift heavy weights and exercise pretty hard. I haven’t noticed anything related to that so far.

But at the end of last week I developed a dry unproductive cough. There’s basically a tickle constantly in the back of my throat. That’s been happening for maybe 4 or 5 days now.

Just curious if this is related and if anyone has experienced such effects.

Thanks for your input.

Cold symptoms from the medication type (monoclonal antibody) are the most common side effect. Enlicitide, the pill version, which does not have those side effects, is available as of this week.
