Questram (Cholestiramine) age

x-no-archive: yes I've been taking it 8 years .. along with
Niacin 500 mg 3 times a day. Can't take any statins..
Lipitor caused Rhabdomyolysis ! SO this was the alternative.
Good Luck and if you are taking it,you can save a LOT of $$
by buying it by the can instead of the packets.

Thank you in advance.

I first used it in 1989. Unfortunately, it causes muscle
pain. And cancer.

cancer.

This is I believe related to vitamin depletion and long term
use--which is variable for each person--and to the difficult
gastrointestinal problems which are almost unavoidable. I
have no idea if taking the depleted vitamins as supplement
would change this but it is usually advised to take them
with bile acid sequestrants. Fibrate use is also problematic
for cancer outcome. Rats in clinical research of statins had
increased cancers.

Maybe we are meant to reduce our cholesterol.

Correction: "Maybe we aren't meant to reduce our

Freudian slip, huh?

Can you supply *any* links to studies that support the
notion the Questram causes cancer?

(Maybe you should ask Al Lohse about "belief"😉
