This medication, Questran, absorbs everything in it's path. I take it for diarrhea not for cholesteral. If I remember correctly, I can take reg meds 1 hr before Questran and 4 hrs. later. The pharmacist didn't include these instructions with this refill. Any help would be appreciated.
How much time, before & after taking Questran, can I take my regular meds so they won't be absorbed?

You are correct.
This is taken directly from
http://www.drugs.com/pro/questran.html
"... Since questran may bind other drugs given concurrently, it is recommended that patients take other drugs at least one hour before or 4 to 6 hours after questran (or at as great an interval as possible) to avoid impeding their absorption."
