Abstract
A highly palatable, low moisture non-baked cholestyramine composition has cholestyramine in stable admixture with a suitable carrier. The carrier is made up of a grain or flour, sugars and starch binder, and may also contain flavorings, preservative, and an edible oil. The cholestyramine composition should not have more than 11.0% moisture by total weight and the optimal moisture content is not more than 2.0 to 4.0% by weight or lower. The composition may be in the form of coarse granules similar to granola or wheat germ, as well as croutons or chewable tablets which may be consumed without beverages or other food products.
