Itching Throughout Body. Taking Niaspan, Had No Side Effects. Can I Take Benadryl?
Taking Niaspan and have been for some time with no side effects. Tonight have started an "all over" itching problem. Skin is flushed which was a side effect. With no problems in the past, could it be that I am allergic to something else. Am going to shower and eat a snack.
