About this active substance


Pyridoxine, also known as vitamin B6, is an essential vitamin involved in numerous metabolic processes in the body.
It plays a key role in protein metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and hemoglobin formation.

Vitamin B6 is used to treat or prevent vitamin B6 deficiencies, as well as to alleviate nausea during pregnancy and symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.
It may also be beneficial in managing certain neurological conditions, such as peripheral neuropathy.

Side effects are rare but may include nausea, drowsiness, or tingling sensations at high doses.
It is important to follow the recommended dosage by your doctor to avoid vitamin B6 toxicity.
