What is Welchol?

Welchol is a prescription drug that is taken to lower bad cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Welchol is absorbed into the intestines to reduce the production of bad cholesterol along with lowering your high blood sugar levels.

Before taking Welchol, you should have a conversation with your healthcare professional to learn about proper safety instructions.

Patients between the ages of 10 and 17 years old who have been diagnosed with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia can benefit from using Welchol, if diet and exercise alone has not helped lower LDL levels.

Adult patients who have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes can also take Welchol to control and maintain cholesterol levels (and maintain control of blood sugar levels). However, Welchol should not be taken to treat Type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Talk to your healthcare provider before using Welchol to see if this medication will be right for you. Tell your doctor about all the medications you take, including prescription, OTC, and vitamins, so he or she can determine if Welchol is compatible with the medicines you take.
