Can niacinamide be used for breast cancer

Nicotinamide does not have the effect of treating breast cancer. However, due to its antioxidant effect, if breast cancer patients are in good physical condition, they can use nicotinamide to play an antioxidant role. However, if there are adverse reactions after use, they should not continue to use it.

1. Can be used: Nicotinamide is a derivative of vitamin B3, which plays an important role in energy metabolism, DNA repair, blood circulation, anti-oxidation and nervous system function. It is mainly used in the treatment of angular cheilitis, pellagra, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and other diseases in clinical practice, and is not used for breast cancer treatment. However, since nicotinamide has an antioxidant effect, if breast cancer patients are in good physical condition, they can use nicotinamide to play a certain antioxidant role.

2. Do not use: Niacinamide has obvious side effects, including itchy skin, decreased appetite, headache, etc. If breast cancer patients are allergic to niacinamide, they should not continue to use it. Because breast cancer patients are generally weaker than normal people, especially during radiotherapy and chemotherapy, their body resistance is poor and their appetite is poor. At this time, it is recommended to use niacinamide, otherwise it may increase adverse reactions.

Breast cancer patients should pay attention to the ingredients in cosmetics when using them in daily life. If any adverse reactions occur after use, they should not use them.
