February 28th is Rare Disease Day.

The goal of this special day is to reduce the time it takes to get diagnosed, increase research and development, improve access to therapies and care, and reduce stigmatization for those who live with rare diseases. Although living with a rare disease can feel very isolating, we want you to know that you are not alone.

Sage Infusion treats several rare diseases, find out what we treat: sageinfusion.com/our-therapies/

Iron deficiency is a common condition that affects many groups of people, including:
Pregnant women of reproductive age leading to anemia.
People with certain conditions like chronic kidney disease, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or peptic ulcer disease.
People who have had major surgery, especially weight loss surgery, may also be at risk.
Elderly people due to poor absorption, reduced oral intake, and excess loss.

There are many ways to improve your iron intake with managing your diet but you can also receive an iron infusion which helps increase the body's iron levels more quickly than supplements or dietary changes.

For a full list of tips please visit sageinfusion.com/Iron

Ask your doctor to see if Feraheme, Injectafer, Monoferric, Procrit, Retacrit or Venofer infusions can help.

Heart Health is important.

Did you know that High Cholesterol and High Blood Pressure can lead to diseases like Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)?

And that ASCVD is a chronic inflammatory disease of the arteries which is caused by a buildup of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles or "bad" cholesterol.

Data from a clinical trial shows LEQVIO's effectiveness in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in some patients with ASCVD by 50%. By adding LEQVIO to their treatment plan some patients saw a significant reduction in LDL-C .

LEQVIO can help remove the plaque buildup in arterial walls that affects the levels of "bad" cholesterol in individuals who have not effectively responded to dietary changes or other therapies.

Following some general guidelines can help to manage your heart health:
1. Stick to your injection schedule.
2. Manage risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and smoking.
3. Follow a healthy lifestyle including eating a well-balanced diet and getting regular exercise.
4. Attend regular check-ups.

Ask your doctor to see if LEQVIO injections can help to treat your condition. For a full list of tips please visit https://sageinfusion.com/LeqvioTips

February is Awareness Month. In most cases, heart disease is preventable when people adopt a healthy lifestyle, which includes not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, controlling blood sugar and cholesterol, treating high blood pressure, getting at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity a week and getting regular checkups.

This observance serves as a vital reminder of the importance of maintaining cardiovascular health. According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, accounting for an estimated 17.9 million lives each year.

At Sage Infusion we can help you manage your heart health with Leqvio. Leqvio is an injectable prescription medicine used along with diet and other lipid-lowering medicines (statins) to lower a patient's “Bad” cholesterol (LDL-C).
