Questran Powder Light (active ingredient: cholestyramine) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:
Questran Powder Light belongs to a class of drugs known as bile acid sequestrants, which work by binding bile acids in the intestines, preventing their reabsorption and leading to a reduction in cholesterol levels in the blood.
Questran comes in the form of a powder with doses measured by the scoopful or in individual dose packets. To take it, follow your doctor’s instructions, usually 1 to 2 times a day. Do not take your dose in the dry powder form. Instead, mix the medication in at least 2 to 6 ounces (60 to 180 milliliters) of liquid, such as water, milk, or fruit juice. Stir completely and drink the mixture right away. To ensure you have taken the full dose, rinse your glass with additional liquid and drink the rinse liquid. You can also mix it with watery soups, applesauce, or a pulpy fruit with lots of juice, like crushed pineapple or peaches.
To minimize damage to your teeth, do not hold the mixture in your mouth for long. Practice good dental habits, such as regularly brushing and flossing. Cholestyramine in Questran Powder Light may reduce the absorption of other medications. Take your other medications as directed by your doctor, at least 1 hour before or 4 to 6 hours after cholestyramine. If you have any questions or concerns, speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
The dosage of Questran Powder Light is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Your doctor may direct you to start at a low dose and gradually increase it to reduce the risk of side effects. It may take several weeks for you to experience the full benefits of it.
Take Questran Powder Light regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time(s) each day. Even if you feel well, keep taking it, since most people with high cholesterol do not feel sick.
Questran Powder Light (Colestyramine) is available in the following forms and strength:
There have been rare cases of liver damage associated with the use of cholestyramine. Monitor liver function while taking it and report any symptoms of liver problems, such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or abdominal pain, to a doctor.
Questran Powder Light may be used in children as young as 6 years old for the treatment of high cholesterol levels. Follow a doctor’s instructions on the dose and administration of the medication in children.
Cholestyramine may reduce the absorption of alcohol and caffeine, which may decrease their effects. Separate the doses of cholestyramine and alcohol or caffeine by at least 1 hour.
Questran Powder Light may be used in people with kidney disease but monitor electrolyte levels closely as cholestyramine may cause electrolyte imbalances.
