What condition is Colesevelam (Welchol) also approved for controlling?

  1. High cholesterol

  2. Type 2 diabetes mellitus

  3. High blood pressure

  4. Hepatotoxicity

The correct answer is: Type 2 diabetes mellitus

Colesevelam (Welchol) is primarily approved for controlling high cholesterol, but it is also approved for controlling type 2 diabetes mellitus. While options A, C, and D may be conditions that require medication, they are not approved for use with Colesevelam (Welchol). Option A may seem like the most likely answer as Colesevelam (Welchol) is primarily used for controlling high cholesterol, but it is important to remember that medications can have multiple uses and indications approved by the FDA. Therefore, it is important to carefully read and consider all options before selecting the correct answer.
