Niacin and possible liver damage https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK548176/

From that reference: “... certain formulations of niacin have been linked to clinically apparent, acute liver injury which can be severe as well as fatal.”

The “formulation of niacin” that they’re referring to is probably niacinamide, which is a chemical modification of niacin designed to prevent niacin flush. Niacin — nicotinic acid — is safe in multigram doses. A common dose for schizophrenia is 12 g, twice a day.
