Product Description:

Cholestyramine sachets are a bile acid sequestrant used primarily to lower elevated cholesterol levels and to manage conditions related to excess bile acids. The active ingredient, cholestyramine, binds bile acids in the intestine, preventing their reabsorption and promoting their excretion. This process reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels in the blood and helps improve overall lipid profiles.

In addition to its lipid-lowering effect, cholestyramine is effective in relieving itching (pruritus) caused by bile duct obstruction and in managing diarrhea associated with excess bile acids, which may occur in conditions like Crohn’s disease, after gallbladder removal, or following certain intestinal surgeries.

Cholestyramine is supplied as a powder in sachets that are mixed with water, juice, or soft food for oral administration. Its local action in the gut makes it suitable for patients who require targeted treatment without significant systemic absorption. Regular use under medical supervision ensures optimal cholesterol control and symptom relief while minimizing potential side effects such as constipation, bloating, or mild gastrointestinal discomfort. This makes cholestyramine sachets a convenient and effective option for managing cholesterol and bile acid-related conditions.
