Message definition (Niacin)
==As lipid-modifying medication==
In the United States, prescription niacin, in immediate-release and slow-release forms, is used to treat primary [[hyperlipidemia]] and [[hypertriglyceridemia]]. It is used either as a monotherapy or in combination with other lipid-modifying drugs. Dosages start at 500 mg/day and are often gradually increased to as high as 3000 mg/day for immediate release or 2000 mg/day for slow release (also referred to as sustained release) to achieve the targeted lipid changes (lower LDL-C and triglycerides, and higher HDL-C). Prescriptions in the US peaked in 2009, at 9.4{{nbsp}}million and had declined to 800{{nbsp}}thousand by 2020.
