A member asked:
Is there an over-the-counter alternative for cholestyramine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sort of.: Several otc alternatives to Cholestyramine are touted by various alternative medicine groups. The most popular, as far as i can tell, is a short-chain fatty acid called butyrate, but neither it nor any similar product has been proven safe or effective. I would strongly suggest checking with your doctor before using any such products.
