TL;DR: Niaspan may be an equivalent or better alternative to plain niacin at moderate doses in the management of hyperlipidemia and has comparable efficacy, a lower incidence of flushing, a lesser uric acid rise, and an equivalent hepatic enzyme effect than 500 mg thrice-daily plain niakin inhyperlipidemic subjects.
