Colesevelam

Colesevelam is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in adults with high cholesterol, as well as improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It works by binding to bile acids in the intestines, preventing their reabsorption and promoting their excretion from the body. This helps to decrease cholesterol levels in the bloodstream and improve blood sugar control. Colesevelam is typically taken in the form of tablets or a powder that can be mixed with liquid.
