Questran Powder, containing Cholestyramine, is utilized in conjunction with a proper diet to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. Lowering cholesterol aids in reducing the risk of strokes and heart attacks, contributing to overall cardiovascular health.

Alongside a proper diet, lifestyle changes such as exercising, weight loss (if overweight), and smoking cessation may enhance the effectiveness of this medication. Additionally, Cholestyramine may be employed to address itching in individuals with excessive bile acid due to a specific liver/bile duct condition known as partial biliary obstruction.

Cholestyramine is classified as a bile acid-binding resin, functioning by removing bile acid from the body. In individuals with high cholesterol, this process prompts the liver to produce more bile acid, utilizing cholesterol from the blood and thereby contributing to reduced cholesterol levels.

Do’s

  • Take Questran powder exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider, typically 1-2 times daily.
  • Use the provided scoop to measure the correct dosage and avoid taking the dry powder directly.
  • Mix Questran with at least 2-6 ounces of liquid (water, milk, juice) and stir thoroughly. Drink the entire mixture immediately. Rinse the glass with more liquid and drink that as well to ensure you consume the full dose.
  • You can also mix Questran with watery soups, applesauce, or pulpy fruits with juice (crushed pineapple, peaches).
  • Practice good dental hygiene (brushing and flossing) as Questran can affect your teeth.
  • Take Questran regularly at consistent times for optimal benefit. Continue taking it even if you feel well, as high cholesterol often has no symptoms.

Don'ts

  • Don't hold the Questran mixture in your mouth for a long time, as it can damage your teeth.
  • Don't take other medications within 1 hour before or 4-6 hours after taking Questran, as it may affect their absorption. Discuss this with your healthcare provider for the specific timing of your medications.
