Welchol is a absorbant product that does not get into the body's circulation. It removes cholesterol manually by sponging it up
in the GI tract. Make sure you take with lots of water, as it
swells and there can be a choking hazard with it. Over time it can also absorb vitamins so space it out if you take any vitamin or mineral products.

It should not affect PN either way. It just absorbs the cholesterol that is in the bile, which is pumped into the intestine with meals.

Welchol is not a statin.
