A member asked:
Is cholestyramine or colestipol better drug?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither --: They are both as good or as bad -- they are acting locally in the bowel to bind the fat and cholesterol and theoretically reduce the absorption of fat and thus reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood.
