Colestipol HCl（Cat No.:I025071）is a bile acid sequestrant used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood, primarily in patients with hyperlipidemia. It works by binding to bile acids in the intestine, preventing their reabsorption. This promotes the liver to convert more cholesterol into bile acids, thereby reducing blood cholesterol levels. Colestipol is often prescribed in combination with other lipid-lowering medications to achieve better control of cholesterol. While effective, it may cause gastrointestinal side effects like constipation and bloating. Its use also requires regular monitoring of lipid profiles and liver function.
