Many of us regularly watch our cholesterol levels as high cholesterol has been shown to be associated with a number of different health problems, including clogged arteries. If you have high cholesterol, your doctor may prescribe a medication which will help to lower these fatty acids within your system. One medication that may be prescribed is Questran (Cholestyramine), which has been shown to effectively lower LDL, sometimes referred to as bad cholesterol. Questran may also be prescribed for other reasons, such as itching that occurs as a result of a blockage in the gallbladder ducts. With your doctor's prescription, it is possible to order cheap Questran online from Canada. Many people use an online Canadian pharmacy because of the savings.

Your doctor will want to have a consultation with you before he prescribes Questran (Cholestyramine) in order to see if there are any reasons why you may not be open to take this medication. Some of the more common reasons that you may not be able to take it is if you have difficulties with your kidneys or liver, constipation (chronic), diabetes or if you are dealing with a thyroid problem. You should also inform your doctor of any intestinal blockage that you may have, as this can also affect your ability to take Questran (Cholestyramine) safely.

Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding a child may not be able to use Questran (Cholestyramine) safely and you should inform your doctor of either of these before you begin taking the medication. If you happen to become pregnant while you are taking Questran, make sure that you inform your doctor of this change immediately.

Your doctor will tell you about your dosage as well as how many times you should take Questran (Cholestyramine) per day. There may be times whenever you will take up to six different Questran pills on a daily basis, and you should make sure that you follow your doctor's instructions closely. Questran is usually taken with meals and you will mix the Questran powder with a non-carbonated beverage, preferably water. You may also mix it in with soup broth.

Make sure that you follow your doctor's instructions for any other lifestyle changes which may also affect your cholesterol levels. Questran (Cholestyramine) can effectively lower your cholesterol but it works much better in conjunction with diet and exercise.
