Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Pyridoxine HCl, commonly known as Vitamin B6, is an essential nutrient that plays a vital role in a multitude of bodily functions, including amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and hemoglobin formation. Our Pyridoxine HCl 25 mg/ml Oral Liquid is a specially compounded medication designed for oral use, providing a precise 25 mg dose of Pyridoxine HCl per milliliter of liquid. This formulation is particularly beneficial for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills, such as children and the elderly, or for those with conditions that affect the gastrointestinal tract and impede the absorption of solid dosage forms.

The liquid form ensures ease of administration and allows for flexible dosing, which is critical for achieving the desired therapeutic effect while minimizing the risk of deficiency or toxicity. Pyridoxine deficiency can lead to a range of health issues, including anemia, dermatitis, depression, confusion, and a weakened immune system. This formulation is used to prevent and treat Pyridoxine deficiency and its associated symptoms. It is also employed in the management of conditions such as sideroblastic anemia, pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy, and certain metabolic disorders. Additionally, Pyridoxine HCl has been used to treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, commonly known as morning sickness.

For prescribers, it is important to note that the dosage of Pyridoxine HCl should be individualized based on the patient's specific clinical condition and laboratory results. Regular monitoring of vitamin B6 levels may be necessary to ensure optimal treatment outcomes. Patients should be advised to take this medication as directed by their healthcare provider and not to alter the dose without consultation. As with any medication, there may be potential interactions with other drugs, and it is essential to discuss all concurrent medications with the prescriber.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Pyridoxine HCl, commonly known as vitamin B6, is an essential nutrient involved in a variety of biological functions, including amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and hemoglobin formation. As a compounding pharmacy, we have formulated Pyridoxine HCl 25 mg/ml Oral Liquid to provide patients with a convenient and easily administered option for those who have difficulty swallowing pills or require precise dosing adjustments.

When considering the use of this formulation, it is important to be aware of potential drug interactions. Pyridoxine can interact with certain medications, potentially altering their effects. For example, pyridoxine may reduce the efficacy of levodopa, a medication used to treat Parkinson's disease, unless it is taken in combination with a dopa decarboxylase inhibitor. Patients on levodopa therapy should consult their healthcare provider before taking pyridoxine supplements.

Additionally, pyridoxine can affect the metabolism of certain antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, and primidone. High doses of pyridoxine may decrease serum levels of these AEDs, potentially reducing their therapeutic effects. Conversely, these medications can lead to pyridoxine deficiency, so monitoring levels may be necessary when used concurrently.

Isoniazid, used to treat tuberculosis, can also cause pyridoxine deficiency, which may lead to peripheral neuropathy. Supplementation with pyridoxine is often recommended in patients receiving isoniazid to prevent this side effect. However, dosing should be carefully managed to avoid reducing the efficacy of the anti-tuberculosis treatment.

Oral contraceptives containing estrogen may also affect pyridoxine levels, potentially leading to a deficiency. Women taking oral contraceptives may require additional pyridoxine supplementation, but should consult with their healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dose.

It is also important to note that high doses of pyridoxine, typically exceeding 1 gram per day, can cause sensory neuropathy or other neurologic symptoms. While the doses used in our formulation are much lower, patients should be advised not to exceed the recommended dose and to report any unusual symptoms to their healthcare provider.

As with any medication, it is crucial to inform your healthcare provider of all the medications, supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking to avoid potential interactions. If you have any questions or concerns about this Pyridoxine HCl 25 mg/ml Oral Liquid formulation or its interactions with other drugs, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to provide you with the information and support you need to safely manage your health.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Pyridoxine HCl, commonly known as Vitamin B6, is an essential nutrient that plays a critical role in a wide range of physiological functions. As a water-soluble vitamin, it is involved in the metabolism of amino acids, glucose, and lipids. Additionally, it is crucial for the normal function of the nervous and immune systems. Pyridoxine is necessary for the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), as well as for the production of hemoglobin in red blood cells.

The Pyridoxine HCl 25 mg/ml Oral Liquid formulation is designed to provide a precise dosage of Vitamin B6 in a liquid form, which is particularly beneficial for individuals who have difficulty swallowing pills or tablets, such as children and the elderly. The liquid form allows for flexible dosing, which can be easily adjusted according to the specific needs of the patient. This is especially important for managing conditions that require precise dosing, such as pyridoxine-dependent seizures or certain metabolic disorders.

In terms of disease states, Pyridoxine HCl is used to treat or prevent pyridoxine deficiency, which can lead to symptoms such as anemia, dermatitis, depression, confusion, and weakened immune function. It is also used in the management of conditions like sideroblastic anemia, pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy, and certain metabolic disorders. Additionally, it has been used to treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, commonly known as morning sickness. Pyridoxine may also play a supportive role in the treatment of homocystinuria, a disorder affecting the metabolism of the amino acid methionine, potentially reducing the risk of vascular complications associated with this condition.

The mechanism by which Pyridoxine HCl works involves its conversion in the body to the active form, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP). PLP serves as a coenzyme in over 100 enzyme reactions, many of which are critical for the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. By ensuring the proper function of these enzymes, Pyridoxine HCl helps maintain metabolic homeostasis, supports the health of the nervous and immune systems, and contributes to the synthesis of vital biomolecules.

For patients and prescribers considering the use of Pyridoxine HCl 25 mg/ml Oral Liquid, it is important to understand that the dosage and duration of treatment will vary based on the individual's specific condition and response to therapy. Regular monitoring of vitamin B6 levels and clinical response is recommended to ensure optimal treatment outcomes. As with any medication, potential interactions with other drugs should be considered, and the formulation should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can be integrated into a treatment plan, please reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is dedicated to providing personalized care and is ready to assist with any inquiries you may have regarding Pyridoxine HCl 25 mg/ml Oral Liquid or other compounded medications.
