i'm asking about inactive ingredients (excipients) of Locholest that means what are the other ingredients besides the active ingredient Cholestyramine, the excipients vary by manufacturer/brand.
The package insert says: "Inactive ingredients: ..."



An excipient is an inactive substance used as a carrier for the active ingredients of a medication. In addition excipients can be used to aid the process by which a product is manufactured. In general, the active substances (such as aspirin) may not be easily administered and absorbed by the human body; they need to be put in some appropriate form. In such cases, the active substance is dissolved or mixed with an excipient. Excipients are also sometimes used to bulk up formulations with very potent active ingredients, to allow for convenient and accurate dosage.
