QUESTRAN  (CHOLESTYRAMINE):  Cholestyramine is used along with a proper diet to lower cholesterol in the blood. Lowering cholesterol helps decrease the risk for strokes and heart attacks. In addition to a proper diet (such as a low-cholesterol/low-fat diet), other lifestyle changes that may help this medication work better include exercising, losing weight if overweight, and stopping smoking. Consult your doctor for more details. Cholestyramine may also be used to treat itching in people with too much bile acid caused by a certain type of liver/bile duct disease (partial biliary obstruction). This medication is known as a bile acid-binding resin. It works by removing bile acid from the body. In people with high cholesterol, this causes the liver to make more bile acid by using cholesterol in the blood. This helps to lower the cholesterol levels.   (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  Crohns Disease Use this for illeoceal valve removal during surgery over decade ago. Works well for Diarreha. Powerful pain meds work better for D*. This med I use on occasion when severe D*. This med binds to other meds causing them to not be absorbed. Must be carefully planned out on when to take. Best time for me, about half way through a course of 8 hour sleep. Wake, take this, back to bed. Works well. M 33 1 years
