Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Colestid from Canada?
Each row is one product from one pharmacy, shown in the pack size with the lowest price per unit; its other pack sizes are listed under “other pack sizes”. Price per unit = the pack price divided by the units in the pack, before shipping; we sort by it and don't assume how long a pack lasts. Total with shipping = the pack price plus the pharmacy's shipping fee for one order. Prices checked Nov 12, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars (converted when a pharmacy prices in Canadian dollars). The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

What is Colestid used for?
Colestid (colestipol) is a bile acid sequestrant. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:
- Along with diet, to lower high total and LDL (bad) cholesterol in people with primary hypercholesterolemia who don't respond well enough to diet alone.
Colestid tablets are 1 gram each, in bottles of 120. The label's adult dose is 2 to 16 grams (2 to 16 tablets) a day, taken once or split into doses. It usually starts at 2 grams once or twice a day and goes up by 2 grams every 1 or 2 months. Tablets are swallowed whole, one at a time, with plenty of water, and never cut, crushed or chewed. Other medicines should be taken at least 1 hour before or 4 hours after Colestid. Colestid is also sold as granules. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Colestid from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Colestid, compare the U.S. list price, the TrumpRx.gov coupon and generic colestipol before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. In Canada, Colestid 1 g tablets are sold under the same name by Pfizer Canada (Health Canada).
