What is Questran Light?

Questran Light is a bile acid sequestrant used to lower LDL cholesterol and to treat itching caused by bile acid accumulation in liver disease. It works in the intestine by binding to bile acids—which are made from cholesterol—and preventing them from being reabsorbed. The body then has to draw on cholesterol stores to make new bile acids, reducing circulating LDL levels. It's taken as a powder mixed with water or juice, one to six times daily depending on the dose, and doesn't enter the bloodstream—making it one of the safest cholesterol medications for certain populations, including pregnant women.

Bile acid sequestration

Binds bile acids in the intestinal lumen and prevents their reabsorption into the enterohepatic circulation, forcing the liver to synthesize new bile acids from circulating cholesterol—thereby reducing LDL cholesterol levels.

Non-systemic mechanism

Questran Light is not absorbed into the bloodstream and works entirely within the GI tract—making it one of the few cholesterol-lowering medications considered safe during pregnancy and for patients who cannot tolerate systemic drugs.

Cholestatic itch relief

In liver disease where bile acids accumulate in the skin and cause intense itching, Questran Light reduces circulating bile acid levels by interrupting their intestinal recycling—providing meaningful relief from cholestasis-related pruritus.
