Interactions
Pyridoxine reduces the effects of levedopa but this does not occur if dopa decarbolase inhibitor is also given. Pyridoxine reduces the activity of altretamine. It has also been reported to decrease serum concentrations of phenobarbital and phenytoin. Many drugs may increase the requirements for pyridoxine: such as drugs include hydrazaline, isoniazid, penicillamine and oral contraceptives.
Absorption of vitamin B12 from the gastrointestinal tract may be reduced by neomycin, aminosalicylic acid, histamine H2- antagonists, omeprazole, and colchicine. Serum concentrations may be decreased by use of oral contraceptives.
Adverse Drug Reactions
Adverse effects of thiamine are rare.
Long-term use of large doses of pyridoxine is associated with the development of severe peripheral neuropathies.
