Obtaining a cholestyramine prescription online involves a few steps:
When considering treatment options for lowering LDL cholesterol, it’s important to compare the efficacy, side effect profiles, and administration routes of available medications. Below is a comparison of cholestyramine with other commonly used lipid-lowering agents:
| Medication | Use Case | Side Effect Risk | Cost (Generic) | Administration |
| Cholestyramine | High LDL cholesterol, partial biliary obstruction | Moderate (GI discomfort) | Low | Oral powder |
| Atorvastatin | High LDL cholesterol, prevention | Low to moderate (muscle pain) | Low | Oral tablet |
| Colesevelam | High LDL cholesterol, diabetes | Low (GI discomfort) | Moderate | Oral tablet |
| Ezetimibe | High LDL cholesterol | Low | Moderate | Oral tablet |
Cholestyramine is effective but may be less convenient due to its powder form. Atorvastatin offers stronger LDL-lowering effects. Colesevelam has a gentler GI profile. Ezetimibe works by reducing cholesterol absorption and is well tolerated.
