Also known as: Colestid
Colestid is the brand name for colestipol hydrochloride tablets, an oral lipid-lowering bile acid sequestrant used as adjunctive therapy to diet for primary hypercholesterolemia. It is intended to reduce elevated total cholesterol and LDL-C when diet alone is insufficient. It is a marketed prescription product.

The Trump administration launched TrumpRx.gov in February 2026, offering discounted prices on dozens of brand-name prescription drugs through negotiated deals with pharmaceutical companies, though critics warn many listed drugs have cheaper generic alternatives.
