Colestipol Hydrochloride Definition
A synthetic triamine and epoxypropane copolymer used alone or with other medications, oral Colestipol Hydrochloride is a cholesterol-lowering bile acid-binding agent that acts as a non-absorbed intestinal anion-exchange resin. By reducing absorption of bile acids, it increases their production from cholesterol and reduces the amount of plasma cholesterol. (NCI04)
