What Is Colestipol Used For? -- An Overview. Colestipol (ColestidÂ®) is a medication that has been licensed for use in the treatment of high LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and high total cholesterol.
Colestipol is part of a class of drugs known as bile acid sequestrants. It works by binding to bile acids in the intestines, preventing them from being reabsorbed into the body. Bile acids are made in the liver from broken-down cholesterol. Therefore, removing these substances from your body helps to lower your blood cholesterol.
