Colestilan is a non-absorbed, non-calcium, non-metallic phosphate-binding polymer. The binding sites become partially protonated in the stomach and interact through ionic and hydrogen bonding with both dietary phosphate anions and bile acids in the duodenum. By binding phosphate from food in the digestive tract, colestilan lowers the serum phosphorus concentration. Colestilan also binds bile acids, thereby lowering the serum LDL-cholesterol concentration.
