About Clostran Sachet 9gm

Clostran Sachet 9gm belongs to the class of cholesterol-lowering medicines called bile acid-binding resins primarily used to lower bad cholesterol levels, thereby reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke in future. Clostran Sachet 9gm also treats itching caused by a blockage in the gallbladder's bile ducts. High cholesterol, known as hyperlipidaemia or dyslipidemia, occurs when there is an excess of the unhealthy balance of cholesterol in the blood. When the cholesterol level is high in the blood, your arteries get narrowed and clogged, contributing to heart diseases like stroke and heart attack.

Clostran Sachet 9gm contains Cholestyramine that works by binding to bile acids which aid fat digestion in the intestine and prevent its reabsorption into the bloodstream, thereby excreting it via faeces. This, in turn, triggers the liver to produce more bile acids from the blood's cholesterol and decreases bad cholesterol (LDL) levels in the blood. Thus, Clostran Sachet 9gm reduces the risk of stroke or heart attack by reducing the brain's excess cholesterol deposition and the heart's major blood vessels.
