What is the best schedule for taking cholestyramine powder and acacia fiber? Is there any harm in taking both?

Normally, you want to treat a fiber supplement like food. Any meds that can be taken with foods can usually be taken with fiber supplements. (Plant foods naturally contain fiber, so if fiber-containing foods are safe with meds then typically a fiber supplement is safe with meds).
But - always ask your pharmacist about the specific combination of meds/fiber you're looking at just to be sure.
Best,

Are you taking the Cholestyramine powder because you had your gallbladder out?
