Where to buy
Intended for
- Adults
Label directions and warnings
Quoted from the label as written. Marketing statements, such as claimed benefits, are not shown.
- Directions
- Directions: Adults - one Slo-Niacin tablet morning or evening, or as directed by a physician. Before using 500 mg daily or more, consult a physician. Note: Slo-Niacin tablets may be broken on the score line, but should not be crushed or chewed.
- Suggested Use Slo-Niacin is a member of the vitamin B-complex group (nicotinic acid, vitamin B3) and is suggested as a dietary supplement. This product has the advantage of a slower release of niacin than conventional dosage forms. This may permit its use by those who do not tolerate immediate-release tablets.
- Directions 250 mg: Adults — one Slo-Niacin Tablet morning or evening, or as directed by a physician. 500 mg: Adults — one Slo-Niacin Tablet morning or evening, or as directed by a physician. 750 mg: Adults — one Slo-Niacin Tablet morning or evening, or as directed by a physician.
- Note: Slo-Niacin tablets may be broken on the score line, but should not be crushed or chewed.
- Precautions
- Caution Niacin may cause temporary flushing, itching and tingling, feelings of warmth and headache, particularly when beginning, increasing the 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.
- 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. Case reports of myopathy (unexplained muscle related complaints, including discomfort, weakness, or tenderness) have been documented with the use of HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors in combination with lipid-altering doses of niacin therapy (=1 gram of niacin per day).
- 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 heartbeat; or cloudy or blurry vision.
- Before using 500 mg daily or more, consult a physician.
- Precautions: children
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Precautions: pregnancy, nursing, medications
- 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.
