A member asked:
Which is better? cholestyramine or colestipol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better lipid med: It depends is the best answer. These are both good meds depending on the type of elevated lipid. Cholestyramine is used to lower triglycerides and other fats by preventing absorption in the intestine, so if you have a high fat diet this may be a better medicine for you.
