Description
Indications
Colestipol is employed in conjunction with dietary modifications to reduce the levels of fatty substances, specifically low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (commonly referred to as ‘bad cholesterol’), in individuals with elevated cholesterol levels. This medication belongs to a category of drugs known as bile acid sequestrants. Its mechanism of action involves binding to bile acids in the intestines, forming a compound that is subsequently eliminated from the body.
Uses and Dosage
Colestipol is available in tablet and granule forms for oral administration. Tablets are typically taken once or twice a day, while granules may be taken one to six times daily.
Adhere to the prescribed dosage of colestipol and avoid taking more or less or increasing the frequency beyond your doctor’s recommendation.
Unless otherwise advised, take other medications at least 1 hour before or 4 hours after colestipol to prevent interference with their absorption.
Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water or another liquid; do not chew, split, or crush them.
Your doctor may adjust your dose gradually at intervals of 1 to 2 months based on your response.
Continue taking colestipol even if you feel well, and do not discontinue it without consulting your doctor.
When taking the granules, avoid consuming them dry. Mix them with at least 3 ounces (90 milliliters) of a liquid (e.g., fruit juice, water, milk, or a soft drink) and stir until thoroughly combined. If using a carbonated beverage, mix it slowly in a large glass to minimize foaming. After the dose, rinse the glass with a small amount of additional liquid and drink it to ensure you receive the full dose.
Colestipol can also be mixed with hot or regular breakfast cereals, thin soups (e.g., tomato and chicken noodle), or pulpy fruits (e.g., crushed pineapple, pears, peaches, and fruit cocktail).
