I was reading a magazine called Drug Topics and I see a new trend of pills on the horizon that will contain niacin, which will be used to deter addicts from abusing oxycodone. I would assume the niacin would be activated when the pill is crushed, chewed or snorted (Acurox, which is oxycodone with niacin has been filed with the FDA awaiting approval). I know niacin does produce flushing of the face, which is a bit uncomfortable. What are other symptoms produced by niacin and how do you think it will work as a deterrent?
