Welchol May Provide the Extra Push
That Gets You Where You Want to Be
- People with type 2 diabetes need to manage both their blood sugar (A1C) and cholesterol (LDL-C). The good news is that Welchol helps treat both.
- When added to metformin, a sulfonylurea, or insulin, Welchol further reduces blood sugar levels.
- When used with a statin, Welchol helps lower LDL-C more than a statin alone.
- Welchol works in the digestive tract so it is not broken down in the liver or kidneys—which is important for patients taking multiple medications.
Success in treating diabetes and cholesterol is not measured by how many pills you take. It’s measured by the results you get—and keep.
