Explanation
• Niacin is a water-soluble vitamin that decreases lipoprotein and triglyceride synthesis. Common side effects include flushing of the face and neck, rash, diarrhea, cough, pruritus, nausea and vomiting, hypotension, and hyperglycemia
• Taking aspirin with niacin can help reduce flushing
• Incorrect: Confusion, hypertension, and hypoglycemia are not associated with the use of niacin
