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 Prof.Ian S.
