B12 and Slo-niacin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take B12 (cobalamin) and Slo-niacin (niacin and niacinamide (vitamin b3)). Common drug interactions include drug ineffective among females and gastrointestinal haemorrhage among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take B12 and Slo-niacin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 25 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is B12?
