What is Welchol?
Welchol (colesevelam) is prescribed along with proper diet and exercise to reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, which is commonly referred to as “bad” cholesterol. It is also used (again along with proper diet and exercise) to reduce blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. In both cases, Welchol helps prevent heart attack and stroke.
Welchol comes in tablet form and is taken by mouth, with a meal, once or twice daily as directed.
What Does Simplefill Provide?
Simplefill helps people who are struggling to pay for medications needed to manage chronic medical conditions. People with high LDL levels need to maintain an uninterrupted supply of their prescribed medication to prevent serious, potentially life-threatening problems, such as heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. Given high U.S. prescription costs, that can be a real challenge for many people.
Simplefill can ensure that you never need to go without your Welchol due to financial difficulties. You may not be aware of the prescription assistance that’s available, but fortunately for you, we are. Simplefill is in the business of connecting people who need prescription assistance with the programs and organizations that offer it.
How does Welchol Work?
Welchol is classified as a bile acid-binding resin. The liver uses cholesterol to produce bile acid, so the more bile acid the liver makes, the more cholesterol is removed from the blood. Welchol works by binding to bile acid and removing it from the body, which causes the liver to use more cholesterol to make more bile acid. Researchers have yet to identify the mechanism through which Welchol reduces blood sugar levels.
