Warnings
Niacin may cause temporary flushing, itching, and tingling, feelings of warmth and headache, particularly when beginning, increasing amount or changing brand of niacin. These effects seldom require discontinuing niacin use. Skin rash, upset stomach, and low blood pressure when standing are less common symptoms; if they persist, contact a physician.
Slo-Niacin Tablets should not be used by persons with a known sensitivity or allergy to niacin. Persons with heart disease, particularly those who have recurrent chest pain (angia) or who recently suffered a heart attack, should take niacin only under the supervision of a physician. Persons taking high blood pressure or cholesterol lowering drugs should contact a physician before taking niacin because of possible interactions. Do no take niacin unless recommended by and taken under the supervision of a physician if you have any of the following conditions: gallbladder disease, gout, arterial bleeding, glaucoma, diabetes, impaired liver function, peptic ulcer, pregnancy or lactating women. Increased uric acid and glucose levels and abnormal liver function tests have been reported in persons taking daily doses of 500 mg or more of niacin.
Discontinue use and consult a physician immediately if any of the following symptoms occur: persistent flu-like symptoms (nausea, vomiting, a general "not well" feeling); loss of appetite; a decrease in urine output associated with dark-colored urine; muscle discomfort such as tender, swollen muscles or muscle weakness; irregular heartbeat; or cloudy or blurry vision.

Slo-Niacin is the only non-prescription Niacin approved by my doctor to replace prescription Niaspan and yours is the only drugstore who sells it in all strengths (250, 750, 1000 mg) and the only drugstore at all to sell Slo-Niacin[...] Saves lots of money over the prescription Niaspan. Thank you! Niacin has raised my good cholesterol by leaps and bounds. Don't take without specific instructions from your doctor as you must build up dose gradually.

Comments about Slo-Niacin Polygel Controlled-Release Niacin, 750mg, Tablets, 100 ea:
I took NIASPAN for 2 years but the insurance company raised the price sky high. After consulting my cardiologist, I started taking this instead. Two blood tests later, this is working just as good as the Niaspan did and at a lower dose! The difference in price is astronomical!
