{"title":"Cholesterol Medications","description":"Cholesterol medications are drugs that are used to lower levels of cholesterol in the body. These medications may be prescribed by a doctor for people who have high cholesterol, or those who are at risk for developing high cholesterol levels. There are different types of cholesterol medications available, including statins, fibrates, bile acid sequestrants, niacin and combination products.\u003cbr\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cholestyramine-resin-usp-for-compounding-api","title":"Cholestyramine Resin USP For Compounding (API)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCholestyramine Resin USP is an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) used in the treatment of high cholesterol and pruritus (itching) associated with biliary obstruction. 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.
