What's the name of the prescription strength form of niacin b3, so i can ask my doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Niaspan (niacin): Your doctor will be able to advice you if there may be any meaningful benefit to you from taking Niacin (niaspan). Recent research is showing that it may not be as helpful as initially thought, especially in a young man like you without coronary disease.
