Colestid (colestipol) is a bile acid sequestrant used to lower cholesterol levels. Long-term side effects may include gastrointestinal issues such as constipation, abdominal pain, bloating, and nausea. Additionally, because it can interfere with the absorption of certain vitamins and medications, prolonged use might lead to deficiencies in fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and necessitate monitoring and supplementation.
