Definition for cholestyramine

Cholestyramine or colestyramine ( Questran, Questran Light , Cholybar ) is a bile acid sequestrant , which binds bile in the gastrointestinal tract to prevent its reabsorption. The resin is a strong anion exchange resin, which means that it can exchange its chloride anions with anionic bile acids in the gastrointestinal tract and bind them strongly in the resin matrix. more
