A member asked:

Does enduracin have higher risk of raising liver enzymes than niaspan or slo_niacin? all are different formulations of monotonic acid. 2000mg daily

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why take these?: Niacin has not been shown to improve outcomes in coronary artery disease. You did not state why you are taking this medication. In all likelihood it is not necessary nor beneficial.
