My, soon to be, former doctor told me that over-the-counter Slo-Niacin damages the liver while Niaspan does not but he cited no research. I have read, again without citing research, that any kind of extended release tablet is harmful. Any comments?

Well Niaspam is just a name brand for a pill that is just Niacin, so that really doesn't make sense. Any pill processed through the liver can cause damage and that is over 90% of them on the market. Niacin does not instantly damage the liver at any dose, you have to continue taking it at high doses.

I have also heard that a delayed release pill should not be taken but no one ever gives a reason.
