THRIVE
was limited to patients with very well controlled LDLc. However, there is
plenty of older evidence suggesting nicotinic acid is likely to be of benefit in
the statin intolerant patient with elevated LDLc (albeit from the pre-statin
era.....).

Tredaptive is withdrawn
I never managed to
get anyone to take Niaspan because the few I tried refused to tolerate the
flushes. It is a shame that Tredaptive has gone because I have some
statin-intolerant patients who were getting reasonable LDL reduction with it,
but I shall not be trying to use nicotinic acid as the THRIVE trials data
uggests it is a waste of time.
