What is Colesevelam Hcl?
Colesevelam HCl is a bile acid sequestrant used primarily to lower LDL cholesterol levels in patients with hyperlipidemia and to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. By binding to bile acids in the intestine, it prevents their reabsorption, which in turn prompts the liver to convert more cholesterol into bile acids, thereby reducing overall cholesterol levels. It is typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes a proper diet and exercise regimen.Side Effects

Warnings
- Not recommended for patients with bowel obstruction.
- Use with caution in patients with difficulty swallowing.
