Prevalite (active ingredient: cholestyramine) is a prescription medication indicated for:
Prevalite belongs to a class of drugs known as bile acid sequestrants, which work by binding bile acids in the intestine, leading to increased excretion of bile acids and cholesterol from the body, thereby reducing cholesterol levels in the bloodstream.
Prevalite comes as a powder with doses measured by the scoopful (using the provided scoop) or in individual dose packets. Take powder by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually 1 to 2 times a day. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not take more than the recommended dose or stop taking the medication without first consulting your doctor.
Do not take your dose in the dry powder form. Measure out the prescribed dose of powder using the scoop provided with your medication. Mix the powder in at least 2 to 6 ounces (60 to 180 milliliters) of liquid (such as water, milk, fruit juice), stir completely, and drink right away. Rinse your glass with more liquid and drink the rinse liquid to be sure that you have taken the entire dose. You may also mix this medication with watery soups, applesauce, or a pulpy fruit which has a lot of juice (such as crushed pineapple, peaches).
Do not hold the mixture in your mouth for long since doing so can damage your teeth. Practice good dental habits (such as brushing and flossing your teeth regularly). To reduce your risk of side effects, your doctor may direct you to start this medication at a low dose and gradually increase your dose. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. It may take several weeks before you get the full benefit of this drug.
Cholestyramine may decrease your absorption of other medications. Take your other medications as directed by your doctor, usually at least 1 hour before or 4 to 6 hours after cholestyramine. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information or if you have any questions.
