Hi ,
I'm on Hiacin 250mg.bid for cholesterol. About once or twice a week I get a
very hot red flush that lasts about an hour. Is this harmful, or an
acceptable reaction. It feels like a bad sunburn.
Thanks for your response

You can diminish this response by taking an 81 mg. aspirin about one hour
before.
