Efensol is commonly used to lower LDL cholesterol levels in the blood. It works by binding bile acids in the intestines, which helps to reduce the amount of cholesterol absorbed. This medication is often prescribed as part of a broader treatment plan for managing high cholesterol.

Efensol may cause common side effects such as constipation, stomach pain, and nausea. Some users might also experience bloating or diarrhea. These effects vary from person to person and are generally mild.
