My doctor prescribed Niaspan (prescription Vit B3) to manage cholesterol, it is good to know this information about other effects.

Eating a light snack before taking it will reduce the flushing, but after I have been taking it for awhile I hardly notice the effect anymore.

If you like the flushing effect, take it on an empty stomach and bite the pill breaking it up...Holi Mackerel Der Andy...

Yes, niacin is usually prescribed to increase HDL and decrease total cholesterol levels, often simultaneously with the course of statins.

Getting "high" on niacin raised to an art form! Kudos, sir, you know how to party!
