Prevalite is a prescription drug used to reduce high cholesterol levels, particularly “bad” or LDL cholesterol. The active ingredient in Prevalite, cholestyramine, is a bile acid sequestrant that binds and removes bile acid through the digestive system. This causes the liver to use available cholesterol to make bile and reduces overall cholesterol in the bloodstream. Prevalite should be used in combination with a proper diet for maximum effectiveness. The average retail price of Prevalite is $288.02, but the price with a SingleCare Prevalite coupon may be only $50.16.
