Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for removing bile acids from a patient and certain polymers of use in the method. The method comprises the step of administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a polymer composition which includes a a poly(diallylamine)polymer which is substituted with hydrophobic groups. The hydrophobic groups can be a substituted or unsubstituted, straight chain or branched C3-C24-alkyl group, an aralkyl group or an aryl group.
Claims23
A method for removing bile acids from a patient comprising the step of orally administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a poly(diallylamine)polymer wherein more than 10% of the amino nitrogen atoms are substituted by a hydrophobic substituent.
