It is used to lower LDL cholesterol levels in patients who do not respond to diet or when diet alone is not sufficient. Additionally, it can be useful in the management of diarrhea associated with bile acid malabsorption, and in some cases, to relieve pruritus associated with cholestasis. Cholestyramine works by binding to bile acids in the intestine, which leads to their excretion and, consequently, a decrease in cholesterol absorption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComposition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach sachet of Questran contains cholestyramine in an amount of 4 grams, along with excipients that facilitate its dissolution and absorption.
