"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."

"I have been taking Niacin SR 2000 mg nightly with Zeta 10 mg 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."

"I had never taken a medication that had me in fear for my life like Niacin. The pain, redness, flushing, rash, and drooping of the face was horrible only after the second pill. It is a very worrisome medication, I would never take it again."
