Colesevelam is a medication that helps lower cholesterol levels and manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that can build up in blood vessels, leading to serious health issues like heart attacks and strokes. Colesevelam belongs to a group of medications known as bile acid sequestrants. It works by binding to bile acids in the intestines, which helps remove them from the body, thereby reducing cholesterol levels. While Colesevelam can effectively manage these conditions, it does not cure them. It is important to continue taking Colesevelam as prescribed by your healthcare provider, even if you feel well. Common side effects may include constipation, nausea, and stomach discomfort. Always follow your prescriber's directions regarding how to take this medication and discuss any other medications or supplements you are using, as some may interact with Colesevelam. If you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms, consult your doctor for guidance.
