ⓘ How this was built
Data sources
- CMS NADAC weekly survey + monthly archives back to 2013 (data.medicaid.gov)
- CMS Federal Upper Limit files (weighted AMP)
- FDA NDC Directory (openFDA) — maker roster
Method
Each month's band spans the NADAC unit prices of every NDC of this drug (min, quartiles, median, max), split into brand and generic cohorts by FDA marketing category. Maker counts come from distinct labelers with the NDC actively listed.

Same drug class
Other molecules FDA puts in Bile Acid Sequestrant, with whether each is in shortage right now. Same class is not the same drug — substitution is a clinical decision, and this is a supply picture, not a recommendation.
Common questions

- Who makes Colesevelam?
- 2 companies have marketed Colesevelam in the last 30 days, according to the FDA NDC Directory. That is a thin market — if one stops making it, supply is at risk quickly. Every manufacturer and package is listed on this page.
