Do not store in the bathroom.
Do not freeze liquid forms of B-3 Niacin.

How To Use

Take B-3 Niacin as directed.
Follow any special dietary recommendations made by your doctor or nutritionist while taking B-3 Niacin.
Take B-3 Niacin with food to prevent stomach upset.
Timed-release capsules or tablets must be swallowed whole.
Do not crush or chew them or the long action may be destroyed and side effects increased.
If you are prescribed bile acid resin drugs (e.g., colestipol, cholestyramine) separate the dose from niacin by 6 hours or more.

Side Effects

B-3 Niacin may cause flushing and a feeling of warmth about the face and neck within the first two hours of taking a dose.
Itching, tingling, or headache may occur as well.
These effects should subside as your body adjusts to the medication.
Stomach upset, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may also occur.
Report promptly any of these effects if they persist or worsen.
Unlikely but report promptly: vision problems, dark urine, stomach (abdominal) pain, yellowing eyes or skin, irregular heartbeat, black stools, increased urination, muscle aches/pains.
In the unlikely event you have an allergic reaction to B-3 Niacin, seek immediate medical attention.
Symptoms include: rash, swelling, dizziness, fainting, trouble breathing.
To minimize the flushing effect (redness, itch) take a plain (not enteric-coated) 325 mg aspirin tablet (or other NSAIDs such as ibuprofen) 30 minutes before each niacin dose.
After a few weeks, this flushing effect should stop occurring, or decrease in intensity.
Also, avoid alcohol or hot beverages near the time of the niacin dose.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist.
If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Precautions

Tell your doctor your entire medical history, including: diabetes, heart disease, kidney or liver disease, gallbladder disease, gout, ulcers, any allergies - including aspirin and tartrazine (a dye in some food and medication, including niacin).
To minimize dizziness or lightheadedness when rising from a seated or lying position, get up slowly.
Since alcohol can intensify drug side effects, ask your doctor or pharmacist about the use of alcohol.
If niacin is used for treating a lipid (high cholesterol or triglyceride) problem, then it should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy.
Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
Doses for lipid problems are generally much higher than daily multivitamin doses (minimum daily allowance).
Niacin is excreted into breast milk.
If niacin is being used for lipid problems, breast-feeding is not recommended due to possible infant side effects.
Consult your doctor before you breast-feed.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as remembered but not if it is almost time for the next dose.
If close to time of next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule.
Do not double-up the dose to catch up.
If you stop taking this for one week or more, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking it again.

Drug Interactions

Tell your doctor of any over-the-counter or prescription drugs you are taking especially: high blood pressure medication, diabetes medicine, fibrates (e.g., gemfibrozil, fenofibrate), statins (e.g., lovastatin, atorvastatin).
If you take insulin or oral diabetes medication, your dose may need to be altered due to increased blood sugar levels caused by niacin.
Ask your doctor.
Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.
