The drug ColestipolTM binds bile salts in the intestine forming complexes that cannot be absorbed How would this drub affect cholesterol levels in the blood?
Randydoritty
Colestipol (and Questran) have a small effect on cholesterol levels in the body, with their major impact being used adjunctively to help reduce the LDL component. These medications are less often used today, as their effectiveness compared with "statin " drugs (like Lipitor, Zocor) are rather small and limited. They are also used to reduce bile acid accumulation in jaundice.
