Product Description:
Choltran (Cholestyramine 4gm) is a bile acid sequestrant used primarily to help lower cholesterol levels in the blood, particularly LDL cholesterol ("bad cholesterol"). It works by binding bile acids in the intestines, preventing their reabsorption. This process forces the liver to use cholesterol from the blood to produce more bile acids, which helps lower blood cholesterol levels.

This medication is prescribed for patients who have hypercholesterolemia that cannot be managed through diet and exercise alone. It is often part of a broader treatment plan that includes dietary changes and other cholesterol-lowering medications.

In addition to treating high cholesterol, Choltran is effective in relieving itching caused by partial bile duct obstruction (a condition that leads to bile accumulation in the body). The powder is usually mixed with water or other liquids and taken by mouth. Regular use, along with appropriate lifestyle changes, can significantly reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, heart disease, and stroke by keeping cholesterol levels within a healthy range.

This product is widely recognized under brand names such as Questran and Prevalite, making it a trusted choice for managing cholesterol levels and associated conditions worldwide
