The current "insert/directions" included in the box of Prevalite has NO
mention of continuing to do this. It only says to "take with meals". THEN,
when do I take my other meds, which I would normally take following my
meal?
I see on this website that you still say to wait 4 hrs. before taking
more meds. If I can't take meds BEFORE or AFTER Prevalite, when do
I take them?
Must I still wait 4 hrs. after taking Prevalite to take other medications?

Here's what the info on this site says SINCE CHOLESTYRAMINE RESIN 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 Prevalite® (OR AT AS GREAT AN INTERVAL AS POSSIBLE) TO AVOID IMPEDING THEIR ABSORPTION. If you said what other meds you take I could help you figure it out.
