Cholestyramine for Hyperlipoproteinemia Reviews

Prevalite (cholestyramine) "Mx it with Tang, it makes it much easier to drink. All you get is tang and a little grittiness. I am experiencing an inability to overeat and some resultant weight loss. i have been on it for about a month."


"2nd day using Cholestyramine tablets for cholesterol, does well with or after meal. Otherwise nauseated, & lightheaded. Will take half package tonight. See how that does. Must drink much water afterwards to get that thick taste out of mouth."


"After only three day, 1 packet a day, my throat felt sore. Stopped for a month and retested, same result. no longer use. I don't know about reducing cholesterol."
