I was put on a cholesterol lowering drug that contained niacin. The second dose put me in the E.R. with a full blown allergic reaction to the niacin and since that episode I have been treated for high blood pressure.
It sounds like a combination that included niacin which is a vitamin. What makes you think it wasn't the other component? Niacin deficiency is called pellagra.
