Relevance: 23.07.2019 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

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) at dosages substantially exceeding those for physiologic requirements is contraindicated in patients with active peptic ulcer disease. These agents have been reported to activate peptic ulcer. Treatment using pharmacologic dosages (e.g., lipid-lowering dosages) should be administered cautiously in patients with a history of peptic ulcer disease.
