Important Information
Safety Information
Niacin may cause flushing, itching and tingling, feelings of warmth and headache, particularly when beginning, increasing amount or changing brand of niacin. These effects seldom require discontinuing niacin use. Skin rash, upset stomach, and low blood pressure when standing are less common symptoms; if they persist, contact a physician. Slo-Niacin Tablets should not be used by persons with a known sensitivity or allergy to niacin. Persons with heart disease, particularly those who have recurrent chest pain (angina) or who recently suffered a heart attack, should take niacin only under the supervision of a physician. Persons taking high blood pressure or cholesterol-lowering drugs should contact a physician before taking niacin because of possible interactions. Do not take niacin unless recommended by and taken under the supervision of a physician if you have any of the following conditions: gallbladder disease, gout, arterial bleeding, glaucoma, diabetes, impaired liver function, peptic ulcer, pregnancy or lactating women. Increased uric acid and glucose levels and abnormal liver function tests have been reported in persons taking daily doses of 500 mg or more of niacin. Discontinue use and consult a physician immediately if any of the following symptoms occur: persistent flu-like symptoms (nausea, vomiting, a general not well feeling); loss of appetite; a decrease in urine output associated with dark colored urine; muscle discomfort such as tender, swollen muscles or muscle weakness; irregular heart beat; or cloudy or blurry vision. Keep out of reach of children.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Much cheaper, release not as controlled,

This review is from: Slo-Niacin Polygel Controlled-Release Niacin, 750 mg, 100 Tablets (Health and Beauty)
I used Slo-Niacin for several years before switching to Niaspan (Rx required). I take a heavy dose (1500 MG nightly). After the initial couple of weeks the flushing, hot and itchy skin, occurred only about once a week. With Niaspan, the flushing (etc) happened only 2-3 times per month. Now, my drug plan has raised my cost for Niaspan by 250% !!So, I will be returning to Slo-Niacin--but the cost to me will be only $11.92 per month using Amazon's "Subscribe & Save." This is in contrast to the new cost of Niaspan at $50 per month. Therefore, when the itching comes on I will chant a mantra of "But, I am saving $37 a month!"

I have used this product for five years. Never any flushing and it has done a great job of raising my HDL by about 30 points.

cheaper and just as good as prescription niacin,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Slo-Niacin Polygel Controlled-Release Niacin, 750 mg, 100 Tablets (Health and Beauty)
I have been taking Niacin for several years. I first started with 1000mg prescription Niacin at approx $2000.00 /yr. After doing some homework and finding Slo Niacin (by Upsher-Smith Laboratories) at Costco for $12.99( 500mg tablets) I talked with my physician and decided to try it. My lab numbers are very good and the cheaper brand is working just fine for me. I have even been able to drop my dosage to 750mg (controlled release) and am still ordering the Slo Niacin. Why pay more? Check it out for yourself. Talk with your Doctor. Mine was unaware of this alternative and was most appreciative that I told her about it. I am also watching my diet and getting a good, hard 2.5 hr workout every other day. That has really helped ALL of my numbers. Good luck. Give it a try. I am very pleased to have been able to save the money and know that it is working for me.
