Description

Indications

Cholestyramine is employed in conjunction with an appropriate dietary regimen to effectively reduce cholesterol levels within the bloodstream. This proactive cholesterol reduction contributes to the mitigation of the risks associated with heart attacks and strokes. Cholestyramine additionally finds application in addressing itching sensations among individuals experiencing an excessive buildup of bile acid due to a specific form of liver or bile duct disorder, known as partial biliary obstruction.

Functioning as a bile acid-binding resin, this medication operates by eliminating bile acid from the body. In individuals afflicted by elevated cholesterol levels, this action stimulates the liver to synthesize more bile acid by utilizing cholesterol present in the bloodstream. This collaborative effort aids in the reduction of cholesterol concentrations.

Uses and Dosage

Consume this medication orally in accordance with your doctor’s instructions, typically once or twice daily. This medication is available as a powder, with doses measured using the provided scoop, or in individual dose packets. Refrain from ingesting the medication in its dry powder state. Instead, blend the prescribed dose with a minimum of 2 to 6 ounces (60 to 180 milliliters) of liquid, such as water, milk, or fruit juice. Thoroughly stir the mixture and promptly drink it. To ensure you’ve ingested the entire dose, rinse your glass with additional liquid and consume the rinsing liquid as well. Alternatively, you can mix the medication with thin soups, applesauce, or pulpy fruits abundant in juice, like crushed pineapple or peaches.

To safeguard your teeth, do not retain the mixture in your mouth for prolonged periods. Uphold good dental hygiene practices, including regular brushing and flossing.

The prescribed dosage hinges on your medical condition and how you respond to the treatment. To minimize the likelihood of side effects, your doctor might initiate the medication at a low dose and gradually escalate it. Follow your doctor’s instructions meticulously. Achieving the full benefits of this drug might necessitate several weeks.

Cholestyramine has the potential to diminish the absorption of other medications. Usually, take your other medications at least 1 hour prior to or 4 to 6 hours after cholestyramine. If you have inquiries or need additional information, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
