Is Niacinamide A Safe Supplement To Be Taken While On Prednisone?

why would a dermatologist prescribe tetricyline and Niacinamide (vitamin B3) to take with prednisone. I do not feel comfortable using the Niacinamide with the reviews I have read. It is a great concern and do not want to worsen my health issue.I already have an autoimmune disease.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yes, it can be taken safely while on Prednisone. The combination of antibiotic Tetracycline and Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is prescribed to treat various autoimmune skin diseases (like discoid lupus erythematosus, pemphigus foliaceus, pemphigus erythematosus, and bullous pemphigoid).

There is no documented evidence of any harmful interaction between Niacinamide and Prednisone and hence they may be taken as prescribed by your dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
