Common questions

Is Niacin in shortage right now?
No. FDA does not currently list Niacin in shortage. This page is rebuilt every morning from FDA's shortage database, so a new posting appears here the day it is published.
Who makes Niacin?
16 companies have marketed Niacin in the last 30 days, according to the FDA NDC Directory. Every manufacturer and package is listed on this page.
What does Niacin cost?
The typical pharmacy pays about $0.3037 per unit, based on the most recent CMS NADAC survey of actual acquisition costs. That is what the pharmacy pays for the drug itself — not the cash price, and not what an insurer is billed.
