About
This medication contains Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, commonly known as Vitamin B6, in a 2 mg tablet formulation. Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin essential for numerous metabolic processes, acting as a coenzyme in over 100 enzyme reactions, primarily involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism. It plays a critical role in amino acid synthesis and breakdown, neurotransmitter production (like serotonin and dopamine), and red blood cell formation. Additionally, it is important for immune function and cognitive development. Deficiency can lead to neurological symptoms, skin disorders, and anemia. This supplement is typically used to prevent or treat pyridoxine deficiency, which can be caused by inadequate dietary intake, certain medications, or underlying medical conditions.
