A member asked:
Am taking niaspan (niacin). the insert says to take with a low fat snack before bed. i normally eat 1.5 cups of nuts before bed, this is fats. is it problem?

May not be an issue: the recent data on niaspan was not great,. The drug did not significantly reduce mortality or morbidity. I suggest if your not taking the niacin for some other reason , stopping the medication and discontinue the eating before bed. of course check with your doctor before starting or stopping any of your medications.
