Niaspan Mechanism
There are two types of cholesterol in the human body. Low density lipoprotein or LDL is considered as bad cholesterol that gets deposited in the arteries and increases the risk of heart disease. Another type of cholesterol is high density lipoprotein or HDL that protects the arteries against LDL. Nicotinic acid or Niacin works by maintaining the correct balance of good and bad cholesterol in the blood. Though, the exact action of the drug is not completely understood, this drug is believed to reduce LDL cholesterol and triglyceride level in the blood by decreasing their production in the liver. Beside this, it also increases the HDL cholesterol level in the blood thereby resulting in lower level of bad cholesterol and increased level of good cholesterol.
