Can you double check and post back, please?
What country are you in?

nicovas 500 = inositol nicotinate tablet BP
Side Effect
Inositol nicotinate seems to be safe for most people. It can cause some side effects such as stomach upset, headache, nausea, burping, and hiccups. It might also cause liver damage like other niacin products in some people.
Some inositol nicotinate products are promoted as "no-flush" niacin because some people think they don't cause as much flushing as regular niacin. But this possible benefit has not been proven in research studies.
Special Precautions & Warnings
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Not enough is known about the use of inositol nicotinate during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
Allergies: Niacin, a chemical that is released when inositol nicotinate breaks down in the body, might make allergies worse by releasing histamine. This is the chemical that triggers allergy symptoms.
Heart disease/heart-related chest pain (unstable angina): Large amounts of niacin, a chemical that is released when inositol nicotinate breaks down in the body, can increase the risk of irregular heartbeat. If you have a heart condition, check with your healthcare provider before using inositol nicotinate.
Diabetes: Niacin, a chemical that is released when inositol nicotinate breaks down in the body, can interfere with blood sugar control. This might require an adjustment in the dose of medicines needed to control diabetes. Increased blood sugar monitoring may be necessary, particularly at the beginning of treatment. If you have diabetes, check with your healthcare provider before using inositol nicotinate.
Gallbladder disease: Niacin, a chemical that is released when inositol nicotinate breaks down in the body, might make gallbladder problems worse. Use with caution.
Gout: Large amounts of niacin, a chemical that is released when inositol nicotinate breaks down in the body, might trigger gout. Use with caution.
Low blood pressure: Niacin, a chemical that is released when inositol nicotinate breaks down in the body, can cause low blood pressure. Use with caution.
Kidney disease: Niacin, a chemical that is released when inositol nicotinate breaks down in the body, might accumulate in people with kidney disease and make their condition worse. Don’t use inositol nicotinate if you have kidney problems.
Liver disease: Niacin, a chemical that is released when inositol nicotinate breaks down in the body, can cause liver damage. Don’t use inositol nicotinate if you have liver disease.
Sensitivity to niacin: Niacin is released when inositol nicotinate is processed by the body. If you are sensitive to niacin, don’t use inositol nicotinate.
Ulcers in the stomach or intestines (peptic ulcer disease): Large amounts of niacin, a chemical that is released when inositol nicotinate breaks down in the body, might make peptic ulcer disease worse. Don’t use inositol nicotinate if you have ulcers.

Dear Friends i am Dr. Harsha(MBBS MD DNB) ... Medical Advisor with Micro Labs. I am working on Nicovas . Nicovas is chemically Inositol Hexa Nicotinate. It releases free nicotinic acid slowly. It is a drug used for raising HDL. HDL is known as good cholesterol and it should be more than 40 in men and more than 50 in women. Nicovas gives advantage over conventional Nicotinic acid since it does not produce flushing... Since flushing is a major problem with Nicotinic acid, Nicovas provides a great advantage of no flush Nicotinic acid.. Right dose of Nicovas is 2 to 3 gram/day.. Trust me none of your patients will have flushing.. We have made two publications on clinical trials done with Nicovas.. Any one intends to know more please email me at [email protected]
