BRAND NAME(S): Niaspan. USES: Niacin is used with a proper diet and exercise program to help lower bad cholesterol and fats (LDL, triglycerides) and raise good cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. It is generally used after non-drug treatments have not been fully successful at lowering cholesterol.
Common side effects of niacin include flushing, itching, and gastrointestinal disturbances, such as nausea and vomiting. Hepatotoxicity (liver cell damage), including elevated liver enzymes and jaundice, has been observed at intakes as low as 750 mg of niacin per day for less than three months (84, 85).
