A - Acts on the stool itself:
Bile Salt-binding Resins (Cholestyramine, colestipol, colesevelam)

B - Acts on the body:
1 - Opioid agonists (diphenoxylate with atropine; difenoxin with atropine; loperamide; opium 

2 - Bismuth compounds (bismuth subsalicylate)
3 - Octrotide (Sandostatin)


By functions:
A - Antisecretory:
1 - Bismuth SubSalicylate
2 - Octreotide

B - Anti-Peristalsis (Antimotlitiy):
1 - Opioid agonists: Opium, Loperamide, Diphenoxymide w/ atropine, Diphenoxyn w/ atropine


C - Stool-binding:
1 - Bile Acid resins (Colestipol, Colesevam, Cholestyramine) 
Bile = Binds = binds everything = give these bile acid resins 2 hrs apart from other drugs 
Colesevelam = newer drug => does not seem to have significant effects on absorption of other drugs

Mnemonics: 
Bile = binds everything. 
Colesevelam = coles-several  => okay to give with several other drugs.
