Can Niacin Non Flush Be Take After Stopping Chemo Sterol Medicine?

My Dr. Has allowed me to come off of my chemo sterol meds. The enzyme level was elevated in the liver, however my high cholesterol numbers are very good. I am exercising and have changed my eating habits. I am interested in taking a natural medicine like Niacin non flush. What is your advice?

hello,

you may opt for niacin non flush, but remember that these medicines don't undergo rigorous trials etc for interactions and side effects and so if any complication arises, it becomes difficult to manage excep stopping the culprit drug. I would advise against it.


thanks
