I would like to still prescribe it for some patients.  This is what I have been able to find so far (for Northern Ireland)....



"Niaspan-available as a 'special' from specialist importers. IDIS can supply 500mg and 1g tablets but would not confirm a price.

Olbetam should be available through Pfizer / Alliance."



Best wishes



Ian

Dear Lipid Clinic Doctors

Are you still precribing nicotinic acid?  If so, how?

regards

Andrew
