I am on lopressor. I want to start a shake diet/cleanse. There are no stimulants in the pills, they are all natural vitamins. A main ingredient in the shakes, Pills and snacks are Niacin. Is it ok to take niacin and lopressor? I was doing research and have mixed reviews.

Since there are no documented harmful interactions between these two medications, hence Vitamin Niacin can be taken safely while on the BP lowering medication Lopressor.
