Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Prevalite is the trade name for the medication cholestyramine and psyllium is a bulk forming laxative that is used to treat constipation.

There are no known interactions between these two agents, they can be safely used together.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
