What is Cholestyramine Light?
Cholestyramine Light, along with changes in diet, is a prescription drug used to reduce serum cholesterol in patients with high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol which has not responded to dietary changes.
Cholestyramine Light is a bile acid sequestrant. It prevents bile acid, an important digestive substance that is similar to cholesterol, from being reabsorbed back into the body through the intestines to be reused. Because bile acid is chemically very similar to cholesterol, removing bile acid from the body requires that the liver capture cholesterol in the blood, break it down, and use it to make more bile acid. This reduces cholesterol in the bloodstream.
Cholestyramine Light is a powder and is always mixed with water before taking.
