It belongs to a class of drugs known as bile acid sequestrants, which work by binding to bile acids in the intestine and preventing their reabsorption into the bloodstream. This causes the liver to use up more cholesterol to produce more bile acids, thereby lowering the levels of cholesterol in the blood. Cholestyramine Resin USP is available as a powder or oral suspension and is primarily used in combination with other cholesterol-lowering medications to manage hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) and prevent the risk of cardiovascular disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShips in 2-4 business days.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCholestyramine Resin USP for compounding is a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels in the blood.
