Tác dụng
Description:
Mechanism of Action: Colestyramine, a bile acid sequestrant, acts by binding with bile acids in the intestine to form a nonabsorbable complex that is excreted in the faeces, resulting in partial removal of bile acids from the enterohepatic circulation. This action leads to increased oxidation of cholesterol to bile acids and reduced low-density lipoprotein serum levels and serum cholesterol levels.
Synonyms: cholestyramine; cholestyramine resin.
Onset: 21 days (peak effect).
Pharmacokinetics:
Absorption: Not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Excretion: Via faeces (as an insoluble complex with bile acids).
Bảo quản
Store between 15-30°C.
