Niasin taken in error, flushing, what can i do? i am red and itching in several areas. what is the best thing i can do to counter this reaction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Niacin: Take an Aspirin and wait. It will go away soon. We all need Niacin everyday in small doses as an essential vitamin. Bound in food it does not do this. A lack of it is serious.
