For High Cholesterol "I have been taking Niacin SR 2000mg nightly with Zeta 10mg nightly and no side effects except a little flushing. Cholesterol has been well under 100 all the time. Dr tells me I need to take Repatha instead which has some very bad side effects. May need to change something/someone else."

For High Cholesterol "I had never taken a medication that had me in fear for my live like Niacin, the pain, redness, flushing, rash, and drooping of the face was horrible only after the 2nd pill, it is a very worrisome medication I would never take it again"

For High Cholesterol "Been taking for over 20 years at 500 mg twice a day. Once you get over the flushing side effect in the first few months, it has been very effective at lowering and keeping cholesterol at a healthy level."
