What is Niaspan (Niacin Extended Release) prescribed for?

Niaspan is a medication used with a proper diet and exercise program to help lower “bad” cholesterol and fats and raise “good” cholesterol in the blood. Generally, this drug is used after non-drug treatments that have been unsuccessful at lowering one's cholesterol. Niacin, the active ingredient within Niaspan, is known as a vitamin B-3, one of the B-complex vitamins. And it may be used with or without other medications.

Lowering “bad” cholesterol and raising “good” cholesterol helps prevent strokes and heart attacks. Lowering fats may also help in reducing the chances of pancreas problems if you are at risk.

In addition to changes in your diet, your doctor may suggest other lifestyle changes that may improve the effectiveness of this medication. These changes may include exercising, losing weight, and quitting smoking.

Directions

This medication is to be taken by mouth with a low in fat meal, or snack. As directed to you by your doctor. Do not take Niaspan on an empty stomach, doing so increase the risk of side effects, such as flushing and a upset stomach.

Do not crush or chew on the extended release tablets. Doing so may break them and then release all of the medication at once, which will increase your chances of any side effects. Swallow the tablet whole or split the tablet without crushing or chewing.

Remember the dosage is based on your medical condition and your response to the treatment.

If you are taking other medications to control your cholesterol, be sure to take Niaspan at least 4 to 6 hours before or after you take the other medications.
