the client has been taking nicotinic acid (nicobid). which adverse effects are common with nicotinic acid? (select all that apply.)

Answer :

Hot flashes and flushing are two prominent side effects of Nicotinic acid.

Brand Name - Nicobid

Generic Name - Niacin

Niacin(nicoti nic acid) is an essential nutrient that is used to prevent and cure niacin deficiency (pellagra). Niacin deficiency can be caused by a variety of medical disorders (including alcoholism, malabsorption syndrome, and Hartnup disease), a poor diet, or long-term usage of certain drugs (such as isoniazid). Diarrhea, disorientation (dementia), tongue redness/swelling, and peeling red skin are also symptoms of niacin deficiency. Niacin is a B-complex vitamin that is also known as vitamin B3.

Nicobid Capsule should be taken by mouth with a low-fat meal or snack as advised by your doctor, generally 1-3 times per day. Taking niacin on an empty stomach increases the likelihood of adverse affects (such as flushing, upset stomach).

Niacin is available in a variety of forms (such as immediate and sustained release). Do not change the strength, brand, or form of niacin. Severe liver issues are possible.

Take niacin at least 4 to 6 hours before or after taking any additional cholesterol-lowering medicines (bile acid-binding resins such as cholestyramine or colestipol). These items interfere with niacin absorption.
