What Causes Breathing Difficulty After Taking Colestipol HCL?
I am already taking TRICOR 145 mg a day for Cholesterol. For the past 5 days, my family doctor has increased the medication I was taking for diarrhea from 2 per day to 4 per day. The medication is COLESTIPOL HCL, 1 gm. I seem to be having trouble breathing since noon today. Should I contact my doctor concerning this new problem?

Hi,
You should contact your doctor. One possible cause might be the medication you are taking causing inflammation and edema in your bronchi consequently you have breathing difficulty.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
