PATIENT INFORMATION
COLESTID Tablets may be larger than
pills you have taken before. If you have had swallowing
problems or choking with food, liquids or other tablets
or capsules in the past, you should discuss this with
your doctor before taking COLESTID Tablets. It is important
that you take COLESTlD Tablets correctly:
- Always take one tablet at a time and swallow promptly.
- Swallow each tablet whole. Do not cut, crush, or chew
the tablets.
- COLESTID Tablets must be taken with water or another
liquid that you prefer. Swallowing the tablets will
be easier if you drink plenty of liquid as you swallow
each tablet.
Difficulty swallowing and temporary obstruction of the
esophagus (the tube between your mouth and stomach) have
been rarely reported in patients taking COLESTID Tablets.
If a tablet does get stuck after you swallow it, you may
notice pressure or discomfort. If this happens to you,
you should contact your doctor. Do not take COLESTID Tablets
again without your doctor’s advice. If you are taking
other medications, you should take them at least one hour
before or four hours after taking COLESTID Tablets.
