Colestid belongs to a class of drugs called bile acid sequestrants. It works by preventing the intestines from reabsorbing bile acid. Blocking the reabsorption of bile acid results in the liver pulling cholesterol from the blood to produce more bile acid. This action results in lower levels of cholesterol in the blood.

Colestid is taken as a tablet or granules. The dosage may vary.
