Niacin and niacinamide are used to prevent niacin deficiency and to treat pellagra. Some clinicians prefer niacinamide for the treatment of pellagra because it lacks vasodilating effects. Pellagra may result from dietary deficiency, isoniazid therapy, or from decreased conversion of tryptophan to niacin in Hartnup disease or carcinoid tumors. /Included in US product label/

Although niacin and niacinamide have not been shown by well-controlled trials to have therapeutic value, the drugs have been used for the management of schizophrenic disorder, drug-induced hallucinations, chronic brain syndrome, hyperkinesis, unipolar depression, motion sickness, alcohol dependence, livedoid vasculitis, acne, and leprosy. /NOT included in US product label/

Blood glucose concentration should be monitored periodically in patients receiving niacin or niacinamide, especially early in the course of therapy. Dosage requirements for antidiabetic agents (e.g., insulin, oral sulfonylureas) may change in diabetic patients.

Potential adverse effects on fetus: Higher levels in fetus than mother, but no fetal anomalies reported. Potential side effects on breast-fed infant: No adverse effects known . FDA Category: C (C = Studies in laboratory animals have revealed adverse effects on the fetus (teratogenic, embryocidal, etc.), but there are no controlled studies in pregnant women. The benefits from use of the drug in pregnant women may be acceptable despite its potential risks, or there are no laboratory animal studies or adequate studies in pregnant women.) /from table II/

Niacinamide /was administered/ daily as a liquid formulation to head and neck cancer patients receiving a 5- to 7-week course of radiotherapy. Niacinamide was administered orally 1.5 hr before irradiation. The daily dose was 80 mg/kg bw to a maximum of 6 g. A dose reduction to 60 mg/kg was introduced for patients with severe side-effects. ... Side-effects of niacinamide were monitored. In all patients, peak concentrations greater than 700 nM/mL could be obtained 0.25-3 hr after drug intake. During the first week of treatment, plasma concentrations at the time of irradiation were adequate in 82% of the samples. Nausea, with or without vomiting, occurred in 65% of patients. Tolerance improved after a 25% reduction of the dose in six of seven patients but plasma concentrations at the time of irradiation decreased below 700 nM/mL in four out of six patients. Other niacinamide side effects included gastrointestinal symptoms, flushing, dizziness, sweating, fatigue, and headache. The most powerful single predictor for severe niacinamide toxicity was the mean of the plasma concentration measured at the time of irradiation during the first week.

Abnormal liver function test results (including increased serum concentrations of bilirubin, AST [SGOT], ALT [SGPT], and LDH), jaundice, and chronic liver damage have occurred during niacin and niacinamide therapy. Abnormal prothrombin time and hypoalbuminemia have also been reported.

14(C)Niacinamide was incorporated into an oil-in-water (o/w) skin cream and into a 30% (w/w) soap base and applied to the skin of female Colworth Wistar rats. The final concentration of niacinamide in the soap solution was approximately 0.3% (w/v) and was 1% (w/w) in the skin cream. Application of the skin cream and soap paste was made to rat skin at approximately 20 mg/sq cm. The cream was carefully massaged over 10 sq cm of skin for up to 5 min before covering with polythene-lined occlusive protective patches. The rats were placed in metabolism cages for 48 hr during which time all excreta was collected. At 48 hr, the animals were killed and the patch, carcass, and treated area of skin were assayed for 14(C). Up to 32% 14(C) was recovered in excreta and in the carcasses from rats treated with skin cream containing 14(C)Niacinamide and up to 30% from those treated with soap paste.

Nicotinamide is efficiently absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. At low doses, absorption is mediated via sodium-dependent facilitated diffusion. Passive diffusion is the principal mechanism of absorption at higher doses. Doses of up to three to four grams of nicotinamide are almost completely absorbed. Nicotinamide is transported via the portal circulation to the liver and via the systemic circulation to the various tissues of the body. Nicotinamide enters most cells by passive diffusion and enters erythrocytes by facilitated transport.

In amounts needed for physiologic function as a coenzyme (12-18 mg daily), niacin is converted to niacinamide; larger doses of niacin are converted to niacinamide to only a minor degree. Niacinamide is metabolized in the liver to N-methylniacinamide, other N-methylated derivatives, and nicotinuric acid (the glycine conjugate of niacin). These metabolites are excreted in urine. Following administration of physiologic doses of niacin or niacinamide, only a small amount of niacinamide is excreted unchanged in urine; however, following administration of larger doses, a greater proportion of niacin and niacinamide is excreted unchanged.
