Dr. Gould adds that while they are effective, they are less potent than statins and may be used alone or in combination therapy depending on cholesterol goals and overall cardiovascular risk. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthcentral.com\/condition\/high-cholesterol\/bile-acid-sequestrants-and-drug-absorption\">Read the full article here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manhattancardiology.com\/book-an-appointment\/\">Would you like to schedule an appointment with Dr. Gould?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bile acid sequestrants are a type of cholesterol-lowering medication that work in the digestive tract to reduce LDL (\u201cbad\u201d) cholesterol, but they can also bind to other drugs and nutrients, potentially affecting how well they are absorbed.
