prickly pin niacin. Bad? Worth?

I took 1500 mg of Niacin Slo-day on the advice of my nurse practitioner for cholesterol. Because of a rash, I reduced IThe release niacin 1000 mg. After one month of this assay, I stopped, due to rash and tingling of the skin like pinpricks. I can not take Lescol XL Lipitor or because of the extreme effects, like a bad case of flu and muscle aches and dizziness, etc. I am taking fish oil capsules per day, and I 1 / 4 cup of seeds flax, grind and I put in water with Crystal Light. I cut the margarine and butter for most. I exercise fairly regularly. But I yet the number of bad cholesterol. I was hoping that niacin would be useful. But I am now completely off niacin. Is it bad for me, as cholesterol RX have been?

Your NP can use a lesson in the treatment of cholesterol. The only good product long acting niacin on the market @ this time Niaspan is. It is a form of granules with immediate release niacin is more realeased ~ 12:00. Niacin is primarily used for the treatment hypertryglycidemia, elevations in triglycerides, are generally not high for cholesterol. slow-release formulations of niacin has been shown to be potentially dangerous and can worsen cardiovascular problems! Niacin itself is a drug that you need to work at the right dose slowly, because the # 1 reason for stopping, it is flushing and itching. The usual starting dose of Niaspan is only 500 mgs and it is suggested that you stay there until all the stops flushing. It is also suggested that you take ibuprofen and benedryl approximately 15 minutes before taking niacin to stop flushing. It is also recommended to take at bedtime so that hunting will occur while you sleep. There are several cholesterol medications that may be useful that are unrelated to Lipitor and Lescol. Zetia is one of them, and it acts reducing the absorption of cholesterol in the gastrointestinal tract. There is a super concentrated form of fish oil called Omacor which also been shown to the advantage of lowering cholesterol. The daily dose of Omacor is 800 mg. twice a day, equivalent to taking 12-14 tablets fish oil at a time. sterols and stanols have been shown to help lower cholesterol low dose, but it can cause a syndrome of overdose stanol so exaggerated, so the dose is 1 or 2 tablets twice a day. Use Cholest-Off by Nature Made! It is not recommended Niacin as you stop the way you have, because of the restart, you must endure several days of hunting. Niacin can have side effects raise uric acid levels can cause your gout. It can also raise blood sugar and you cause a syndrome indistinguishable from diabetes mellitus type 2 So your PC must monitor both your blood glucose and uric acid levels and kidney function. The primary objective of reducing your rate cholesterol is to get your LDL cholesterol below 70 (new value) or 100 (old value). You should increase your HDL to more than 55 years and preferably more than 60. This can be done by exercise, not smoking, and female. Your total cholesterol should be less 130 (value) and 150 (old value). Tryglycerides (circulating fats) should be less than 150. There is some evidence that triglycerides Almost as important as cholesterol in the development of vascular disease and must be treated aggressively if necessary. Besides Niacin, a drug called Tricor has been used to treat the subject. Exercise, diet and weight loss are also important factors in the control of triglycerides and cholesterol. Do not smoke because it increases your bad cholesterol (LDL and VLDL) levels and lowers your good cholesterol (HDL). There some familial diseases known hyperlipidemias that are inherited problems with the handling of cholesterol and / or triglycerides who can make things worse if you have one of them. I think you sit down, talk to your NP and I explain exactly what your state is and ask why you are on niacin and Niaspan and not ask what his plans are with you. So I think you should start Omacor and Zetia if necessary reduce cholesterol and Tricor, if necessary, lower triglycerides. Flax seeds are good that if you have diverticulosis. Margarine is probably not safe at all, stick with olive oil, peanut oil, canola oil and other monounsaturated oils or small quantities Good Luck butter
