10. Liver Damage

Niacin may increase the risk of liver damage, especially if supplements are taken along with other medications. Statin medications are often taken with niacin to control cholesterol levels, but this combination can be toxic to the liver. Other medications that may interact with niacin include over-the-counter pain relievers, some seizure medications, and macrolide antibiotics. Alcohol can also enhance niacin toxicity in the liver.
