Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is a form of vitamin B3 and an essential nutrient for the human body. Our Niacinamide 100 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a liquid dosage form that ensures the active ingredient is uniformly dispersed throughout the liquid medium. This homogeneity is crucial for ensuring consistent dosing and efficacy with each administration. The suspension has been carefully formulated to provide a stable and palatable vehicle for niacinamide, enhancing patient compliance, particularly for those who may have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules.

Niacinamide plays a pivotal role in a variety of biological processes, including the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, and is involved in DNA repair and skin health. It is used to treat a range of disease states, most notably conditions related to niacin deficiency such as pellagra, which is characterized by dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia. Additionally, niacinamide has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial in the management of acne and other inflammatory skin conditions. It may also have a role in the prevention of certain skin cancers when used under medical supervision.

For patients, it is important to adhere to the prescribed dosage and administration instructions to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes. Prescribers should consider the patient's overall nutritional status, potential interactions with other medications, and any pre-existing medical conditions before initiating treatment with niacinamide. Regular monitoring may be necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the therapy and to adjust dosing as needed.

Our team at Bayview Pharmacy is committed to providing high-quality compounded medications tailored to meet individual patient needs. We are available to answer any questions and provide additional information to both patients and prescribers regarding our Niacinamide 100 mg/ml Oral Suspension. If you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is a form of vitamin B3 and is used for a variety of therapeutic purposes, including the treatment of niacin deficiency (pellagra), certain skin conditions such as acne, and potentially some inflammatory conditions. As a compounding pharmacy, we have prepared a niacinamide 100 mg/ml oral suspension, which is a liquid dosage form ensuring the active ingredient is uniformly dispersed for consistent dosing.

When considering drug interactions with niacinamide, it is important to note that niacinamide generally has a favorable safety profile and is not known to have a high potential for significant drug interactions. However, as with any medication, there can be some interactions to be aware of. For instance, niacinamide may interact with alcohol, potentially exacerbating flushing and itching, which are common side effects of niacinamide. Patients should be advised to limit alcohol consumption while taking this medication.

Patients taking other supplements or medications that affect vitamin B3 levels should consult with a healthcare provider before starting niacinamide. High doses of niacinamide can potentially interfere with the metabolism of other drugs, although this is less likely at the 100 mg/ml concentration when used at typical doses. It is also important to monitor blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes, as niacinamide can affect glucose levels.

Additionally, niacinamide may have additive or synergistic effects when used with other topical or oral acne treatments. While this can be beneficial, it also increases the risk of dryness or irritation, so monitoring and adjusting therapy may be necessary. Patients on immunosuppressive therapy, such as those receiving chemotherapy or taking drugs to prevent organ transplant rejection, should use niacinamide with caution, as it can potentially affect immune system function.

It is always recommended to inform healthcare providers of all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are taking to avoid potential interactions. If you are a prescriber, consider the patient's complete medication profile to ensure that niacinamide therapy is appropriate. If you have any questions or concerns about this niacinamide oral suspension or its potential interactions with other drugs, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to provide the necessary support and information to ensure appropriate treatment for your patients.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is a form of vitamin B3 and an essential nutrient for the human body. In the form of a 100 mg/ml oral suspension, niacinamide is suspended uniformly in a liquid medium, which allows for accurate dosing and ease of administration, particularly for patients who may have difficulty swallowing pills or tablets. This liquid dosage form ensures that the active ingredient, niacinamide, is evenly distributed throughout the suspension, so each dose taken is consistent in strength and efficacy.

The mechanism of action of niacinamide involves its role as a precursor to the coenzymes NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and NADP (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). These coenzymes are vital for numerous enzymatic reactions in the body, including those involved in energy production, DNA repair, and cell signaling. By contributing to these biochemical processes, niacinamide supports the health of skin, nerves, and the digestive system.

In terms of disease states, niacinamide has been shown to have a therapeutic effect on several conditions. For skin disorders, such as acne and inflammatory skin conditions, niacinamide can help reduce inflammation and improve the skin barrier function. It also has been found to have a beneficial effect on the prevention and treatment of pellagra, a disease caused by niacin deficiency characterized by dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia. Additionally, there is evidence suggesting that niacinamide may have a role in the management of type 1 diabetes by preserving beta-cell function and reducing the risk of autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas.

It is important for prescribers to consider the appropriate dosing of niacinamide based on the patient's specific condition and to monitor for any potential side effects, such as mild gastrointestinal upset or allergic reactions. Patients should be instructed on how to properly shake the suspension before each use to ensure the medication is well mixed and to measure their dose accurately with a suitable measuring device.

Bayview Pharmacy is committed to providing high-quality compounded medications tailored to the needs of individual patients. If you have any questions about this niacinamide oral suspension or its suitability for your patients, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to support you with the information and guidance you need to make informed decisions about your patients' care.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
