A member asked:
Is it necessary to take niacin er for cholesterol at night or can i take it in the morning? if so, what is the reason?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Night : Most manufacturers of statins recommend that they are taken at night, on the basis of physiological studies which show that most cholesterol is synthesised when dietary intake is at its lowest.
