Can Niaspan 1000 Mg Daily Cause Painful And Chapped Lips?
Can Niaspan (1,000 mg daily) be a cause of painful/chapped lips? Age:72+, 160 lbs., basically good health, take Cartia 180 mg daily to lower blood pressure because of an enlarged aorta, high cholestrol, exercise daily. Prior to a few weeks ago, I was only taking 500 mg of Niaspan daily which is the reeason for the query. Don Emerson
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern and from the history given here I could say that the medicine that you are taking is Vitamin B3 and the dose that you are taking is much higher than the recommended one and this could cause harmful side effects, so better to lower the lower the dose, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
