Colesevelam does not cause diarrhea, but it could predispose the patient to abdominal bloating, flatulence, and cramping.
Colesevelam reduces the LDL level, which is one of its therapeutic uses; no further teaching is needed.
Colesevelam augments statin therapy; no further teaching is needed.
Colesevelam does not significantly interact with or reduce the absorption of statins, digoxin, warfarin, or most other drugs; no further teaching is needed.
