After taking a 500mg Niaspan last night 1/2 hour after taking it I had this reaction: Hot flush in my upper body, face,neck and arms.

Went to the bathroom and washed my face with cold water.
Came over to the iMac (computer) Googled Niaspan allergic reactions, found this site and was mentally relieved to note that this was a common side effect of this drug.
Consumed 10 oz of water calmed down and fell better within 6 or 7 minutes.
While some people curse the amount of info on the net I am not one of them.
I am really glad that people share info like I am doing.
I suggest though if any of the side effects are worse then mine yo go to the ER and if you cant hit 911.
