Questran

Questran is a brand name for the drug cholestyramine, which is used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. It works by binding to bile acids in the intestine, preventing them from being reabsorbed into the bloodstream, which helps lower cholesterol levels. Questran is typically prescribed to people with high cholesterol or certain types of diarrhea.
