Colestid (Colestipol) is used in combination with a proper diet to lower cholesterol levels in the blood, which can help decrease the risk of strokes and heart attacks.

Follow a low-cholesterol/low-fat diet, engage in regular exercise, lose weight if overweight, and stop smoking to maximize the effectiveness of Colestid.

Colestid is classified as a bile acid-binding resin, which means it works by removing bile acid from the body.

In individuals with high cholesterol, the removal of bile acid stimulates the liver to produce more bile acid using cholesterol from the blood. This process helps to lower cholesterol levels.

Do’s

  • Take Colestid exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider, usually 1-2 times a day.
  • Mix the medication with at least 3 ounces of liquid (water, juice, milk, etc.) before swallowing. Don't take it dry.
  • Stir the mixture well and drink it immediately. Rinse the glass with more liquid to ensure you take the entire dose.
  • You can also mix Colestid with watery soups, applesauce, or pulpy fruits.
  • Take your other medications at least 1 hour before or 4-6 hours after Colestid to avoid absorption issues.
  • Take Colestid regularly, even if you feel well.
  • Ask your healthcare provider if you have any questions.

Don'ts

  • Don't take Colestid with carbonated beverages (it may foam excessively).
  • Don't take your other medications too close to Colestid without consulting your healthcare provider.
  • Don't stop taking Colestid without talking to your healthcare provider first.
