This new medicine supposedly works on the bile track as opposed to the liver and is not absorbed into the blood (supposedly) . For a pretty good decription go to the following URL .
http://pharminfo.com/pubs/druginfoline/druginfo2_72p.html . If I have take a cholesterol medicine this will be the first thing I try , i will never go back on statins . Good luck , maybe this will be the start of some medicines that won't give such bad side effects , the main side
effect with Welchol is supposedly some gas , I can live with that .

: This medication was announced on the television news
: on l3 oct 00. would like more information ?
