Colestipol hydrochloride

Description:

Colestipol hydrochloride is a synthetic polymeric compound primarily used as a cholesterol-lowering agent in the treatment of hyperlipidemia. It functions as a bile acid sequestrant, binding bile acids in the intestine and preventing their reabsorption, which leads to increased excretion of cholesterol. This mechanism prompts the liver to utilize more cholesterol to synthesize new bile acids, thereby reducing overall cholesterol levels in the bloodstream. Colestipol hydrochloride is typically administered in the form of tablets or granules and is known for its relatively low systemic absorption, which minimizes potential side effects. The substance is characterized by its white to off-white appearance and is soluble in water, making it suitable for oral administration. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances such as constipation, bloating, and abdominal discomfort. As with any medication, it is essential for patients to consult healthcare professionals for appropriate dosing and to discuss potential interactions with other medications.
