Hello Ma'am
After going through the medical details provided by you of your husband I can understand your concern and I would like to tell you that if your husband is taking all these meds since long then probably the change in brand could the reason of this allergic reaction.
If he is having itching only and no facial puffiness or oedema and no breathing difficulties then as of now there is no need to go to ER. However it's advisable to take an Antihistamines like cetrizine at bed time for itching and controlling allergy.
Rest discontinue that brand of niacin and consult your primary physician.
I hope this information will answer your query and relieve your worries.
