I took Niaspan exactly like my doctor said. I also take multiple vitamins and other prescriptions. With 24 hours I broke out in water blisters, later dianosed as "shingles". I have never had these before. I stopped taking Niaspan and a week later went to the doctors only to get told I had shingles. I went back on the Niaspan and the doctor gave me an antibiotic Famvir 500 mg. Well much to my dismay the shingles are still blistering and still there. I had no other reaction from Niaspan. Could this medication have been an on set of the Shingles?
