Difficulty in clearing my throat. I'm here again with a further problem. My AF seems to be controlled with Soltalol 40mg after two cardioversions and two Ablations. I have developed a problem with excessive clearing of my throat it takes me up to 2hours in a morning trying to clear the build up after being asleep. I have seen my Locum GP who says it's a virus it has been going on for 2 months and makes me dread trying to get any sleep.
What is colestipol, and how does it work (mechanism of action)? Colestipol is an oral cholesterol-lowering drug that is not absorbed from the intestine into the body. Rather, it works by binding to bile acids in the intestine and promoting the elimination of bile acids in the stool.
Colestipol is used to lower high cholesterol levels in the blood. This may help prevent medical problems caused by cholesterol clogging the blood vessels. Colestipol works by attaching to certain substances in the intestine. Since colestipol is not absorbed into the body, these substances also pass out of the body without being absorbed. Colestipol may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor. Colestipol is available only with your doctor's prescription.
