It is also indicated for the management of diarrhea associated with cholestasis, as well as in the reduction of pruritus associated with hepatobiliary diseases. This medication works by binding bile acids in the intestine, which results in a decrease in blood cholesterol levels by facilitating its excretion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComposition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach sachet contains cholestyramine, an ion-exchange resin that binds to bile acids in the intestine, reducing their reabsorption. In addition, it contains excipients that facilitate its formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eContraindications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuestran is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to cholestyramine or any of its components.

It is important to monitor blood cholesterol and other lipid levels during treatment. Likewise, care should be taken when using it concurrently with other medications that may be affected by cholestyramine binding in the intestine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStorage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore in a cool, dry place, at room temperature, out of reach of children.
