Pathology

  • deficiency of nicotinic acid (niacin) is pellagra

Indications

* may not be useful as adjunct therapy in patients with hyperlipidemia

* lowers risk of non-fatal myocardial infarction or non-fatal stroke in patients not taking statins[17]

* does not lower risk of fatal myocardial infarctions, fatal stroke or all-cause mortality in patients taking statins[17]

Contraindications

* sustained-release niacin[14][16] combined with laropriant[16]

Average effective dose: 2.0-2.5 g/day

Max dose: 8 g/day

Capsules: 100 mg, 500 mg

Tablets: 50 mg, 100 mg, 250 mg, 500 mg

Niaspan:

  • sustained release (over 8-12 hours) (QHS)[6]
  • less hepatotoxic than other sustained-release forms[7]
  • may have benefits similar to immediate-release niacin[10]

Pharmacokinetics

elimination via kidney

elimination via liver

1/2life = 45 minutes

Monitor

Adverse effects

* less frequent with sustained-release forms may be minimized by giving 325 mg of aspirin or 200 mg of ibuprofen 30 minutes before niacin

# if dizziness occurs, avoid sudden changes in posture

% niaspan may be less heptatoxic than other sustained-release forms[6]
