Colestid Granules (active ingredient: olestipol hydrochloride) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:
Colestid Granules belong to a class of drugs known as bile acid sequestrants, which work by binding bile acids in the intestine, leading to their excretion and subsequently reducing the levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood.
Colestid is an oral medication that comes in the form of granules. Your doctor will direct you to take it one or two times a day, with doses measured by the scoopful or in individual dose packets. Do not take the dry powder form and mix it in at least 3 ounces (90 milliliters) of liquid before drinking it completely. You may also mix it with watery soups, applesauce, or a pulpy fruit having a lot of juice.
The usual starting dose is 5 grams once or twice a day. After one or two months, your doctor may increase your dose by 5 grams daily at monthly intervals. It may take several weeks before the full benefit of this drug is achieved. Take Colestid regularly at the same time(s) each day and even if you feel well. Most people with high cholesterol do not feel sick, continue taking the medication as directed. Additionally, Colestid may decrease the absorption of other medications, follow your doctor’s instructions regarding taking other medications at least 1 hour before or 4 to 6 hours after colestipol.
Take Colestid Granules exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
