New cholesterol-lowering product
BJCardio editorial team
The product is a polymer in tablet form that lowers LDL-cholesterol. It can be taken as adjunctive therapy to diet, in combination with other cholesterol-lowering medications, such as statins, or alone, when statins are inappropriate or not well-tolerated. When combined with statins, colesevelam hydrochloride has been shown to have an additive LDL-cholesterol lowering effect in the range of 8–16%.
