Cholestyramine

Cholestyramine is a medication used to lower high levels of cholesterol in the blood. It works by binding to bile acids in the intestines, preventing them from being reabsorbed into the blood. This results in the liver producing more bile acids, which in turn helps to lower cholesterol levels. Cholestyramine is often prescribed to patients with high cholesterol levels who are at risk of developing heart disease. It is typically taken orally as a powder or suspension.
