Valeant Pharmaceuticals Announces Approval Of Colesevelam Hydrochloride In Canada
Date:9/28/2011

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Sept. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (NYSE: VRX and TSX: VRX) announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Valeant International (Barbados) SRL, has received notice that the New Drug Submission for colesevelam hydrochloride (colesevelam), an oral bile acid sequestrant for hypercholesterolemia, has been approved by the Canadian regulatory authority Health Canada.

"Bile acid sequestration is a time-tested and well-established method that has been used literally for generations to lower both total and LDL-cholesterol. Clinical trials have shown reduced cardiovascular events with the use of bile acid sequestrants, either as monotherapy or in combination with other agents. Compared with conventional bile acid sequestrants, colesevelam has
