Lodalis Information

Lodalis and Colesevelam at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

The manufacturer of brand-name Lodalis (colesevelam hydrochloride) is Bausch Health. It is available in several countries worldwide, including Canada.

Generic colesevelam is also available. The specific manufacturer of the medication dispensed may vary based on pharmacy inventory. Generic colesevelam is sourced from manufacturers that meet applicable regulatory standards.

Important Information about Generic Colesevelam

Generic colesevelam contains the same active ingredient as brand-name Lodalis. It must meet the same effectiveness and quality standards. This means it is designed to work like Lodalis. Studies have shown that generic colesevelam is bioequivalent to brand-name Lodalis. However, individual responses to medication can vary due to factors such as metabolism, genetics, and other health conditions.

Dosage:

Lodalis (colesevelam) is available in the following strengths and forms:
• Tablets: 625 mg oral tablets.

The usual adult dose is 3 tablets taken twice daily, or all 6 tablets taken once daily, always with a meal and liquid. Your doctor may adjust your dose depending on whether Lodalis is used alone or together with a statin.

Usage:

Lodalis is used, along with diet and exercise, to lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol in adults with primary hyperlipidemia, either alone or in combination with a statin. It may also be prescribed, in combination with diet and exercise, to help improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Mechanism of Action
Colesevelam, the active ingredient in Lodalis, is a non-absorbed polymer that binds bile acids in the intestine, much like older bile acid sequestrants, but with a stronger, more selective affinity for bile acids and less binding to other substances. Once bound, the bile acid-resin complex is excreted in the stool instead of being recycled back to the liver. To replace the lost bile acids, the liver draws more cholesterol from the bloodstream, which lowers LDL cholesterol levels over time.

Take Lodalis with a meal, exactly as your doctor prescribes, according to the product monograph. Swallow tablets with liquid; do not crush or chew them.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before starting Lodalis, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects:

The information below outlines potential side effects of Lodalis (colesevelam). It is not an exhaustive list, and individual reactions can vary.

Common side effects:These are common side effects of Lodalis; other side effects are possible. Contact your doctor promptly if any side effects are persistent, worsening, or concerning, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms.
• Cold-like symptoms
• Constipation or bloating
• Indigestion or nausea

Serious Side Effects: Seek immediate medical attention or call emergency services if you experience any of the following symptoms:
• Bowel Obstruction: Severe constipation, bloating, or inability to pass stool or gas.
• Pancreatitis: Severe abdominal pain, especially if you have a history of very high triglycerides.
• Severe Allergic Reaction: Rash, itching, or swelling of the face, tongue, or throat.

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before starting Lodalis, it is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are taking with your doctor or pharmacist.

Do not take Lodalis/colesevelam if:
• Allergies: You have a known hypersensitivity to colesevelam or any of the medication's ingredients.
• Bowel Obstruction: You have a history of bowel obstruction.
• Very High Triglycerides: You have a history of pancreatitis caused by high triglyceride levriglycerides are above 500 mg/dL.

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting Lodalis. This is crucial as certain conditions affect the drug's safety.
• Major GI Surgery.
• Swallowing Disorders
• Vitamin A, D, E, or K Deficiency.

Drug Interactions:

Before taking Lodalis, discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete, up-to-date information, please refer to the product monograph at https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00027744.PDF.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, herbal supplements, recreational drugs, and any significant dietary changes, as these may interact with Lodalis. Lodalis may interact with other medicines, including but not limited to:
• Cyclosporine: Lodalis can reduce cyclosporine absorption. Take cyclosporine at least 4 hours before Lodalis.
• Oral Contraceptives and Other Medications: Since Lodalis can bind some oral medications in the gut, take other medications that could be affected at least 4 hours before Lodalis, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• Sustained-Release Verapamil: Lodalis may modestly reduce verapamil levels in the blood.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

Because colesevelam is not absorbed into the bloodstream, it is generally considered a reasonable choice during pregnancy when a cholesterol-lowering medication is required. However, it may reduce the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and folic acid. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding so that your vitamin levels can be monitored.

Use in Children:

In Canada, Lodalis is approved as an adjunct to diet and lifestyle to lower elevated LDL cholesterol in pediatric patients aged 10 to 17 years with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH). It is not recommended for children under 10 years of age or for treating pediatric type 2 diabetes.

Frequently Asked Questions about Lodalis at Canada Pharmacy Online

Why is Lodalis more affordable in Canada than in the United States?

Prescription drug prices, including Lodalis, are generally lower in Canada than in the U.S. due to a combination of factors, primarily government price regulations, differing market dynamics, and other economic considerations. In Canada, provincial and federal governments negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies, which often results in lower prices than in the U.S., where market forces play a more significant role.
