The price has gone up for me because of deductible issues on my insurance policy. Question, has anyone switched from Niaspan to Slo-Niacin and if so what was the impact on cholesterol levels? As I understand it they both contain the same form of the vitamin.
I have been taking Niaspan for several months with good results?

The active ingredient of both tablets is exactly the same and as long as you take the same strength of tablet you should continue to have good results.

If you are taking it for cholesterol then try fish oil! It drastically lowered mine with Zocor. I take 40 mg of Zocor and 2400 mg of fish oil. But I hear Slo-Niacin is the same. I love the fish oil pills!
