Overview

Bile acid sequestrants cholestyramine and colestipol are effective in lowering circulating low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. They have been shown to lower the incidence of new coronary events and retard the progression of coronary atherosclerosis. They are generally well tolerated, and side effects can be managed by lowering the dosage.
