You have been asked to prepare a teaching plan for Mr. D, who is
being started on cholestyramine
[Questran, Questran Light, Prevalite, LoCHOLEST]. He is 42 years
old and has never really had any
health problems until blood tests indicated abnormal serum levels
of LDL. Mr D has the following
questions regarding his medications:
1. Do I still need to diet with this medication?
2. What lab tests will I need for this medication?
3. How do I take this medication?
Homework Answers
1. Yes,
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.
2. Lab test are Lipid profile and Liver function test.
3.Take cholestyramine with meals unless your doctor tells you otherwise. Mix the cholestyramine powder with 2 to 6 ounces of water or other non-carbonated beverage. You may also mix the powder with a brothy soup, crushed pineapple, or applesauce. Measure the powder using the scoop provided with your medication.
