About Colestipol

What is Colestipol?

Colestipol is a generic drug that comes as granules and it is used to reduce the amount of certain fatty substances in your blood, as well as to reduce high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or “bad”) cholesterol.

This drug is typically used in conjunction with following a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet and an exercise routine in an effort to create a lifestyle change that will lead to lower levels of fats and cholesterol in the blood. Lowering fat and cholesterol levels may help to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and heart disease, and to help to promote overall heart health.

This drug works by slowing the production of cholesterol in order to decrease cholesterol build-up on the walls of the arteries that may cause blockage of blood flow to the heart and throughout the body.

How do I use Colestipol?

Colestipol granules should be taken orally. This medication is typically used 2 to 4 times per day. Follow your doctor’s instructions for taking this medication.

  • Colestipol granules should not be consumed dry. Add Colestipol granules to at least 3 ounces of a liquid and stir the solution until it is thoroughly mixed.

  • If you are taking other medications, be sure to take them at least 1 hour before or 4 hours after you use this drug as Colestipol can affect your body’s absorption of your other medications. Only take Colestipol at the same time that you take other medications if you have been instructed to do so by your doctor.

  • Colestipol should be used in conjunction with a low-cholesterol, low-fat, balanced and healthy diet and an exercise routine for maximum health benefits.

What if I forget to use a dose of Colestipol?
