Large doses of niacin and niacinamide (nicotinamide) can compete with uric acid for excretion by the kidney. Hyperuricemia and precipitation of gout have been reported during long-term therapy. Treatment using pharmacologic dosages (e.g., lipid-lowering dosages) of these agents should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to gout.
