Extracted information for NICOTINAMIDE only.
Nicotinamide is also called niacinamide. Vitamin PP deficiency is common when diet is almost entirely based on sorghum, millet or maize. Vitamin PP deficiency often occurs in association with other vitamin B-complex deficiency (thiamine, pyridoxine), especially in alcoholic patients. Vitamin PP is usually one of the components of multivitamin preparations and B-complex (7.5 mg to 15 mg per tablet). Nicotinic acid has a similar action to nicotinamide, but is no longer used because of its adverse effects, especially its vasodilator action.
