You can lower your cholesterol by eating a healthy diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins, while reducing red meat, full-fat dairy, fried foods, and sugary snacks. Increasing soluble fibre from oats, beans, and lentils can also help lower LDL cholesterol. Regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol are important. Your doctor may consider medication if lifestyle changes alone are not sufficient.

I have severe itching due to my biluruben percentage 3.5 mg/dl . Now I'm using this one for relief itching. If I'm using this one how many grams can I take per day .

If your bilirubin is elevated (3.5 mg/dL), Choltran (cholestyramine) should only be used under a doctor’s supervision, because the correct dose depends on your liver condition, other health issues, and any medications you are taking. Self-use can cause side effects like constipation or reduced absorption of vitamins. While it may help relieve itching, Choltran does not treat the underlying liver problem, so careful medical monitoring is essential to ensure safe and effective use.
