Alcohol

It is not clearly known how alcohol affects this medicine. Ask your doctor before drinking alcohol while taking it.

Directions for Use

Always mix Choltran oral powder with water, juice, or soft, wet food before taking it. Never swallow the dry powder, as it can be hard to breathe in safely. Do not mix it with fizzy drinks, as this can cause too much foaming. Keep taking it as prescribed and do not stop without asking your doctor.

Storage and disposal

Dosage

Overdose

Too much of this medicine may cause severe constipation or a blockage in the digestive tract. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it's time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Cholestyramine works in the gut. It sticks to bile acids in the intestine and carries them out of the body in the stool. To make up for the lost bile acids, the body uses more of the cholesterol in the blood, which helps bring cholesterol levels down. Removing extra bile also eases the itching and the loose motions that too much bile can cause.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can change the way Choltran oral powder works, and it can also stop other medicines from being absorbed properly. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, supplements, and herbal products you are taking. In particular, mention if you are taking blood-thinning medicines, thyroid medicines, heart medicines, or water tablets, and take your other medicines at a different time from this one, as your doctor advises.

Interactions with food items

This medicine can reduce how well the body absorbs certain vitamins, such as vitamin a, vitamin d, vitamin e, and vitamin k, and folic acid. Your doctor may suggest taking these vitamins to make up for this.
