My doctor prescribed Welchol for me 3-4 months ago for my chronic and explosive diarrhea. Stopped it in it's tracks. Very expensive, though, here in the US, so I research and found another same type of drug: Colestipol. Much less expensive, and says it works the same way. Will be trying it as the Welchol is over $700.00 for a 3-month supply..that's my CO-PAY. The retail price is $1700.00 for a one-month supply. Damn greedy pharmaceutical companies! Anyway, I'm going to start taking the colestipol soon. I'll post if it works the same as the Welchol.
I know...welcome to the US....and I am a senior on a very fixed income. No help over here for people who are poor. I also take another drug that costs me a lot, too...and that's just the co-pay. I'm beginning to believe that you guys have a much better system over there in Europe. Although, I'm just guessing you're in Europe somewhere?
Yes...always has sounded much better than what we have over here. I feel like I live in a Third World Country nowadays. Just pathetic how they treat people, especially the elderly and the disabled.
I have tried it.... it’s just overrated fybogel!? The sachets of drink are basically the same - was very disappointed. Had one of the sachets to drink in the morning and in the afternoon had an IBS attack
