Participant Flow

A total of 236 participants who met all inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria were enrolled and randomized to either Welchol 3.75 g (high-dose) or Welchol 0.625 g (low-dose).

Participants may have either been receiving metformin monotherapy or untreated with antidiabetic agents. All participants entered a 2-week, single-blind lead in/stabilization period after eligibility was confirmed. Metformin dose remained the same during the stabilization period.
