Label statements

Formula: Contains: Slo-Niacin 500 mg
Formula: Contains: Contains a doctor-recommended form of niacin
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.
Storage: Store at controlled room temperature, 15-30(0)C (59-86(0)F). Keep tightly closed.
Precautions: All Other: 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.
Precautions: Allergies: Warnings Slo-Niacin tablets should not be used by persons with a known sensitivity or allergy to niacin.
Precautions: All Other: 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).
Precautions: Pregnant or Nursing or Prescription 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.
