Welchol is a cardiovascular drug used to treat high cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It is a bile acid sequestrant, meaning it binds to bile acids in the intestine and prevents them from being reabsorbed into the bloodstream. This reduces the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, helping to reduce the risk of heart disease. Welchol is available in tablet and granule form, and is taken orally. It is usually taken once or twice a day with meals. Welchol is marketed by Daiichi Sankyo, a Japanese pharmaceutical company. Other companies that produce similar drugs include AstraZeneca, Merck, and Pfizer. Show Less Read more
