Subject: colestyramine washout
I was prescribed cholestyramine 4g sachets today by my GP on the advice of my rheumatologist as a washout treatment. My gp only had available to him the dosage for general treatment using cholestyramine (1 sachet a day for a week then 2 sachets a day for week etc.) not washout dosage. He asked me to contact the hospital to confirm what I needed to take. My rheumatologist and nurse are both on leave for the next 2 weeks! I've looked online and have found 3x 8g a day for 11days? Anyone had the washout and can help me? Thanks in advance

Hi Rizzle, I didn't answer before because I am also unsure what this is. Take care

Ahh thanks Meg. Sorry Rizzle can't help at all. Is there not another Rhumey nurse available for you to talk to? Take care and I hope you get some advice soon.

Ah, not something I have ever heard of. Would the hospital pharmacy be able to help, Rizzle?
