Product Introduction
Colsenat Mango Sugar Free Oral Suspension is an antihyperlipidaemic medication belonging to the bile acid sequestrants class of drugs, containing the active ingredient Colesevelam. This medication treats primary hyperlipidaemia in adult patients. It helps lower elevated LDL cholesterol levels, which are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. In addition to its cholesterol-lowering effects, this drug is known to improve blood sugar level control in patients with type 2 diabetes. It can help manage blood glucose levels, which is particularly beneficial for individuals with both high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes.
Do not use this drug if you have a known allergy or sensitivity to it or any components in the medication. If you have type 2 diabetes and are taking medications to lower blood sugar, monitor your blood sugar levels closely when starting Colsenat Mango Sugar Free Oral Suspension. Adjustments to your diabetes medications may be necessary.
This drug can cause gastrointestinal side effects, including constipation, indigestion, and gas. These symptoms are more common when starting the medication or with higher doses. To minimise these effects, take this drug with meals and a full glass of water. If constipation persists, discuss it with your healthcare provider.
There is limited information on the safety of Colsenat Mango Sugar Free Oral Suspension in breastfeeding and pregnant women. Individuals with severe liver disease may require adjusted dosages or closer monitoring when taking this drug. The safety and effectiveness of this medicine in children and infants have not been established.
