Bile acid sequestrants are polymeric compounds that serve as ion-exchange resins. Bile acid sequestrants exchange anions such as chloride ions for bile acids.By doing so, they bind bile acids and sequester them from the enterohepatic circulation. The liver then produces more bile acids to replace those that have been lost.ile acid sequestrants are large polymeric structures, and they are not significantly absorbed from the gut into the bloodstream. Thus, bile acid sequestrants, along with any bile acids bound to the drug, are excreted via the feces after passage through the gastrointestinal tract.
Bile acid sequestrants are medications that help lower LDL-cholesterol. These medications come in either pill or powder form and when taken they bind bile acids in the intestine not allowing them to be reabsorbed.Because our body now has less bile acids being reabsorbed, more need to be made.ile acid sequestrants come in powders that are mixed with water or fruit juice and usually taken once or twice a day with meals. They are also available in pill form. They should be taken with plenty of water to avoid gastrointestinal side effects, such as constipation, bloating, nausea and gas.
