I have been taking Niaspan but my prescription coverage is now gone and a I was startled to discover the 1000mg Niasapn is over $2 per tablet. That's absurd. Costco sells a product called Slo-Niacin at a far lower price. I have heard that these slow release products can cause liver problems but I tolerated the time release Niaspan well.
Would I expect the Slo-Niacin to be any diferent?

Ime, the pharmacokinetics are different. You may not tolerate
Slo-Niacin though you tolerated Niaspan. Nonetheless, you should inform your doctor if/when you make the change so that s/he will monitor you more closely.

Thanks. I have looked into this before and can't find anything specific about its effect on HDL except that it is presumed to work like ordinary niacin. What does it do for you? My HDL without Niaspan is low 30s, with it mid 50s.
puritanspride.com has the 500mg for $10 for 3x50 capsules
