It looks like possibly the Light version is the one that contains that. The regular version doesn't seem to.

Light contains the following inactive ingredients: aspartame, citric acid, colloidal silicon dioxide, D&C Yellow No. 10, FD&C Red No. 40, flavor (natural and artificial Orange), maltodextrin, propylene glycol alginate and xanthan gum.

Cholestyramine for Oral Suspension USP contains the following inactive ingredients: acacia, citric acid, D&C Yellow No. 10, FD&C Yellow No. 6, flavor (natural and artificial Orange), polysorbate 80, propylene glycol alginate and sucrose.

I found that info on this page: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailym...5058-22c3-4f57-9b61-9bc6fcd6e240&type=display

I would verify with your pharmacist though.
