The acceptability of resin therapy to patients attending a hospital lipid clinic.
Low dose cholestyramine ('Questran A') and colestipol ('Colestid Orange') were compared in a blinded two period crossover study of 55 patients attending a hospital lipid clinic. Colestipol was rated higher on a combined acceptability/palatability score. Both treatments reduced low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol to a similar extent.
