Additional Information for Niacin Tablets
Niacin tablets are a type of medication that contains niacin, also known as vitamin B3. Niacin is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in the body's metabolism and energy production. It is commonly used to treat or prevent niacin deficiency, a condition that can lead to various health problems.
Niacin tablets are available in different strengths and formulations, including immediate-release and extended-release versions. They are typically taken orally with water, either with or without food, as directed by a healthcare professional.
Niacin tablets are commonly prescribed to help lower cholesterol levels and triglycerides in the blood. They work by increasing the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, often referred to as "good" cholesterol, while decreasing the levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, also known as "bad" cholesterol, and triglycerides.
In addition to their cholesterol-lowering effects, niacin tablets may also be used to treat certain medical conditions, such as pellagra (a niacin deficiency disease), hyperlipidemia (high levels of fats in the blood), and certain types of skin conditions.
It is important to note that niacin tablets can cause side effects, such as flushing (redness and warmth of the skin), itching, and gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea and diarrhea. These side effects are usually temporary and can be minimized by starting with a low dose and gradually increasing it over time.
As with any medication, it is essential to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional and to inform them about any other medications or supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions or adverse effects.
Please note that while niacin tablets are classified under the supply class Drugs And Biologicals in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies, they are not considered equipment or supplies themselves but rather a medication that falls within this category.
