<unk> s are polymeric compounds that serve as ion-exchange resins.<unk> s exchange anions such as chloride ions for<unk>  acids. By doing so, they bind<unk>  acids and sequester them from the enterohepatic circulation. The liver then produces more<unk>  acids to replace those that have been lost. Because the body uses cholesterol to make<unk>  acids, this reduces the level of LDL cholesterol circulating in the blood.<unk> s are large polymeric structures, and they are not significantly absorbed from the gut into the bloodstream. Thus,<unk> s, along with any<unk>  acids bound to the drug, are excreted via the feces after passage through the gastrointestinal tract.
