Connect with licensed healthcare providers on Klarity to get a cholestyramine prescription online within 24 hours for high cholesterol or itching relief.
Cholestyramine is an FDA-approved medication used to lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol and to relieve itching caused by partial bile duct obstruction. It is available in powder form, typically taken by mixing with water or non-carbonated fluids. To obtain a prescription online, you can use Klarity’s telehealth platform.
Cholestyramine helps reduce high LDL cholesterol levels, decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. It also alleviates itching related to partial biliary obstruction by binding bile acids in the intestine, prompting the liver to use more cholesterol to produce new bile acids.
Booking a virtual visit on Klarity allows you to consult with a licensed healthcare provider. During the appointment, your provider assesses your health history and symptoms. If appropriate, they prescribe cholestyramine, which can be ready within 24 hours.
Cholestyramine is effective but may be less convenient due to its powder form. Alternatives like atorvastatin provide stronger LDL lowering and easier oral intake. Colesevelam offers a gentler gastrointestinal profile, and ezetimibe reduces cholesterol absorption with good tolerability.
Common side effects include gastrointestinal discomfort such as constipation, bloating, or nausea. Serious side effects are rare. Always discuss potential side effects with your healthcare provider before starting treatment.
