Efficacy

LDL-C and A1C reductions

In the appropriate patient, as an adjunct to diet and exercise, Welchol is the only bile acid sequestrant FDA-approved to provide both LDL-C and A1C reductions in adults with primary hyperlipidemia and T2DM.

Welchol may provide benefits for adult patients with primary hyperlipidemia, T2DM, or both

According to the CDC National Diabetes Statistics Report of 2014, more than half of all T2DM patients had high LDL levels.¹ With such a high patient prevalence, see the data below to determine if Welchol as an add-on therapy or monotherapy could help your patients achieve the LDL-C and A1C reductions they need.*

Please see Important Safety Information about Welchol below.
