Is Niaspan Safe During Pregnancy?
Niaspan® (niacin extended-release) is considered a pregnancy Category C medicine by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which means that Niaspan has not been studied in pregnant women. However, studies on pregnant animals suggest that Niaspan could potentially cause harm to your unborn child. Niaspan may be recommended during pregnancy only if the benefits to you outweigh the risks to your unborn child.
