Drug Interactions With Niacin Extended-ReleaseA few of the drugs that niacin extended-release can potentially interact with include warfarin, alcohol, and medications used to treat diabetes. Drug interactions with niacin extended-release can decrease the absorption of some drugs into the body and increase the flushing caused by niacin extended-release, as well as your risk of bleeding, among other things. In rare cases, niacin extended-release has been associated with a serious condition called rhabdomyolysis (severe breakdown of muscle).
