High cholesterol, bile acid malabsorption, and itching caused by elevated bile salts are common health challenges affecting thousands of individuals in India. With lifestyle changes, dietary imbalances, fatty liver issues and metabolic disorders on the rise, patients often need reliable medicines that work gently yet effectively.
CHOLEDUCE ORAL SUSPENSION, containing Cholestyramine Powder for Oral Suspension, is formulated to help patients manage these conditions safely and efficiently.

Cholestyramine is a bile acid sequestrant, widely used for decades and trusted by physicians for lowering LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, managing bile acid–related diarrhea, and reducing itching caused by liver or gallbladder disorders. CHOLEDUCE ORAL SUSPENSION follows pharmaceutical-grade quality standards, ensuring optimal absorption, good palatability, and better patient compliance.

Suitable for both adults and children (as prescribed), CHOLEDUCE ORAL SUSPENSION offers a dependable therapeutic option for long-term management of cholesterol and bile acid imbalance symptoms.

WHAT IS CHOLESYTRAMINE?

Cholestyramine is a non-absorbed resin that binds bile acids in the intestines.
Instead of allowing bile salts to re-enter the bloodstream, it traps them and removes them from the body through stool. This mechanism helps with:

• Lowering LDL cholesterol

• Reducing bile acid irritation

• Managing chronic diarrhea caused by bile acid malabsorption

• Relieving itching (pruritus) in liver or gallbladder disease

CHOLEDUCE ORAL SUSPENSION leverages this mechanism to provide multi-benefit therapeutic results.

COMPOSITION

Brand Name: CHOLEDUCE ORAL SUSPENSION
Active Ingredient: Cholestyramine Powder for Oral Suspension

• Each sachet/bottle contains pharmaceutical-grade Cholestyramine Resin

• Non-systemic, safe for long-term use

• Does not enter bloodstream

KEY BENEFITS OF CHOLEDUCE ORAL SUSPENSION

1. Helps Reduce LDL (“Bad”) Cholesterol

Cholestyramine binds bile acids in the intestine. The liver then uses cholesterol to produce more bile acids, naturally lowering cholesterol levels.

Benefits include:

• Reduced risk of heart disease

• Improved lipid profile

• Suitable for patients who cannot tolerate statins

2. Effective for Bile Acid Diarrhea

Patients with bile acid malabsorption often experience persistent diarrhea.

CHOLEDUCE binds excess bile acids and helps restore normal stool consistency.
Ideal for conditions like:

• Irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D)

• Post-gallbladder removal diarrhea

• Short bowel syndrome

• Crohn’s disease with bile acid issues

3. Relieves Itching (Pruritus) in Liver Disease

Excess bile salts in the bloodstream can cause severe itching.
CHOLEDUCE effectively reduces bile salt levels, improving:

• Itching in cholestasis

• Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC)

• Liver cirrhosis

• Pregnancy-related cholestasis (doctor-advised only)

4. Supports Liver & Gallbladder Conditions

By removing extra bile acids, CHOLEDUCE helps protect the liver and supports digestive health.
It relieves symptoms like:

• Fatty stools

• Bad odor during bowel movements

• Abdominal discomfort

• Fatigue due to poor bile metabolism

5. Non-Systemic, Safe, and Well-Tolerated

Cholestyramine does not enter the bloodstream, making it safe for:

• Elderly patients

• Patients with liver issues

• People unable to take statins

• Long-term therapy

HOW CHOLEDUCE ORAL SUSPENSION WORKS — DETAILED MECHANISM

Step 1: Binds Bile Acids in the Gut

The powder forms a resin that attaches to bile salts.

Step 2: Prevents Reabsorption

Instead of being recycled back into the liver, bile acids are trapped.

Step 3: Excreted Through Stool

Bound bile acids are removed from the body.

Step 4: Liver Uses Cholesterol to Create More Bile

This naturally lowers LDL cholesterol.

Step 5: Reduces Bile Acid Irritation

Helping relieve diarrhea and itching caused by bile acid imbalance.

USES OF CHOLEDUCE ORAL SUSPENSION

1. High LDL Cholesterol (Hyperlipidemia)

Helps reduce LDL in patients who cannot tolerate statins or require combination therapy.

2. Chronic Diarrhea Due to Bile Acid Malabsorption

Especially after gallbladder removal or gastrointestinal surgery.

3. Pruritus Associated with Liver Disease

Reduces itching caused by cholestasis.

4. Topical Use (Under Medical Supervision)

Used in some cases for wound care or dermatitis.

5. Adjunct Therapy for Gallbladder and Digestive Issues

Helps stabilize bile acid levels.
