Niacin Tolerability Large doses of niacin (nicotinic acid) effectively lower serum cholesterol levels, reduce LDL, and raise HDL see Chapter 35). However, niacin is tolerated poorly because it induces intense flushing. This flushing is mediated by a release of prostaglandin Dj from the skin, which can be inhibited by treatment with aspirin. [Pg.437]
