This prostaglandin D2 receptor antagonist was developed to reduce the uncomfortable skin flushing that commonly occurs when people take niacin (a cholesterol-lowering vitamin). It was used in combination with extended-release niacin to improve patient tolerability, but was ultimately withdrawn after clinical trials showed no cardiovascular benefit.
