Comment:
I have been using this product for several years & have been very satisfied with it until the manufacturer was changed. Now it is very thin and sticks to the glass all the time=I have to keep stirring it. I recently wrote to the Fed. Drug Admin. about it.The manufacturing company has changed several times.

After the first three pills, one hour later experienced severe headache (migraine) light sensitivity, and extreme abdominal bloating, severe hemmroidal (sp?) flare up with constipation and rectal bleeding. Dizziness. Took three days to recover. That was only taking half the recommended dose

Comment:
if you take levothyroxine - the welchol prevents your body from asorbing the levothyroxine. most doctors are not aware of this. i have begun taking the levothyroxine four hours prior to the first daily dose of welchol. we will see how this works
