• Cholestyramine (CSM) is an FDA-approved medication used to lower elevated levels of cholesterol.
• Cholestyramine is a quaternary ammonium anion exchange resin with a strong affinity for bile salts.
• Cholestyramine is a co-polymer of styrene and divinylbenzine, its molecular weight is about one million and it is irisoluble in water.
• Cholestyramine or colestyramine (Questran, Questran Light, Cholybar) is a bile acid sequestrant, which binds bile in the
  gastrointestinal tract to prevent its reabsorption.
• Cholestyramine is a strong ion exchange resin, which means that it can exchange its chloride anions with anionic bile acids in the gastrointestinal tract and bind them strongly in the resin matrix.
• Cholestyramine removes bile acids from the body by forming insoluble complexes with bile acids in the intestine, which are
  then excreted in the feces. When bile acids are excreted, plasma cholesterol is converted to bile acid to normalize bile acid  levels. This conversion of cholesterol into bile acids lowers plasma cholesterol concentrations.
• Cholestyramine removes certain chemicals from the body which leads to more cholesterol being broken down. This lowers the level of cholesterol in the blood. Lowering cholesterol can prevent heart and blood vessel disease.
• Cholestyramine is also used to treat severe itching caused by liver disease.
• Cholestyramine can also be used to treat diarrhea.
• Cholestryamine is also used to treat diarrhea-predominant IBS, cardiac glycoside toxicity, diarrhea associated with excess fecal bile acids (such as in patients with a resected bowel), and pseudomembraneous colitis.
• Cholestyramine is used to treat the itching that occurs with certain types of liver disease. Itching occurs because of retention of bile salts which are made by the liver. Cholestyramine binds these bile salts in the intestinal tract, thereby reducing them in the blood and relieving the itching that elevated bile salts can cause.
• Cholestyramine can affect how other medications work when taken at the same time. Take other medications 1 hour before or 4 to 6 hoursafter taking Cholestyramine.
• Cholestyramine resin acts by releasing chloride and combining it with bile acids in the intestine to form insoluble, nonabsorbable complexes that are excreted in the feces along with unchanged resin. The excretion in the feces prevents the bile acids from returning to the liver by enterohepatic circulation.
• Lowering the bile acid concentration in the hepatocytes causes an increased conversion of cholesterol to bile acids, resulting in a replenished supply of these compounds, which are essential components of the bile. This causes a decrease in the intracellular cholesterol concentration, which activates an increased uptake of LDL particles. The final outcome is a decreased plasma cholesterol concentration.
• Cholestyramine (Questran) works by chemically binding the bile acids produced by the gall bladder.
• Cholestyramine drug may interfere with the absorption and digestion of fats and fat soluble vitamins such as A, D, E and K. It may be necessary to supplement these vitamins as well as calcium and folic acid.
• Cholestyramine has been
  used safely for over forty years in millions of patients who have taken the medication for extended periods of time.
• Cholestyramine is one of the oldest and relatively safest cholesterol lowering medications on the market today.
