Neurovit Forte Tablet

Who is this for?

Pyridoxine Hydrochloride is Vitamin B6, a water-soluble vitamin that helps your body break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates properly, and also supports your nervous system and brain function.

Acts as a coenzyme in amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and haemoglobin formation by serving as a prosthetic group for aminotransferases, decarboxylases, and other pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzymes, thereby correcting deficiency-related neurological and haematological manifestations.

Is Pyridoxine safe to take with another drug?

For general vitamin B6 deficiency, adults usually take 25 mg to 50 mg one to three times daily — common brands like Emzor Vitamin B6 50 mg Tablet or Timec Pyridoxine Hydrochloride Tablets make this easy. You can take it with or without food, but taking it with food may reduce any stomach upset. If you are taking it to prevent nerve problems from TB drugs like isoniazid, your doctor will usually prescribe 10 mg to 25 mg daily.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, just skip the missed one and continue as normal. Do not take a double dose to make up for the one you missed.

• Mild nausea or stomach upset
• headache
• feeling sleepy or drowsy
• tingling or numbness (usually only with very high doses taken over a long time)

Pyridoxine can reduce the effectiveness of levodopa (a drug used for Parkinson's disease), so let your doctor know if you are on that medication. If you are taking isoniazid or cycloserine for TB treatment, your doctor may actually prescribe pyridoxine alongside it to protect your nerves. Phenytoin (a seizure medication) levels may be reduced by high-dose Vitamin B6.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat — Nigerian weather can be very hot, so avoid leaving it in your car or near a window. Keep the container tightly closed to protect from moisture, and always keep it out of reach of children.
