When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

The use of niacin and niacinamide (nicotinamide) is contraindicated in patients with severe hypotension. These agents have peripheral vasodilating effects and may commonly cause flushing at dosages substantially exceeding those for physiologic requirements (e.g., lipid-lowering dosages).
