You'll typically start Colestipol at a low dose. Your prescriber might raise your dose every 1 or 2 months based on your cholesterol levels and the side effects you might. You can take the dose at all once or split it up into smaller doses throughout the day.

  • Colestipol 1-gram tablets: The typical dose ranges from 2 to 16 grams by mouth per day.
  • Colestipol granules for suspension (5 grams per packet or scoop): The typical dose ranges from 5 to 30 grams by mouth per day. Mix each dose with at least 3 ounces of water or other liquid before you take it.
