Default as far as I know...

The aspirin is only to prevent the flush.

I'll have to look up any other effects.

Not all people flush with niacin. It has to do with histamine levels.
Histadelia
Histapenia :

Using enteric coated aspirin delays onset...up to 2 hrs.
To block a flush you need faster action, than that.

Here is a good link:
http://www.uspharmacist.com/index.as...age=8_1157.htm
it states that aspirin + niacin is not clear as to any interaction

I will say.... the flushing I got was agony.... including inside the ears and "other places" where the sun
doesn't shine!
AND this flushing is very much like the burning I get in my feet sometimes! Not pleasant!
