Hello, Mike!

Your doctor may approve your taking it, but most medications tend to degrade with time due to exposure to the elements, so they can't be guaranteed to be fully effective past the expiration date.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Niaspan as possibly including nausea, facial flushing, dry skin, diarrhea and flatulence.

Is there anything else I can help with?
