Pyridoxine interacts in the following cases:
Many drugs may alter the metabolism or bioavailability of pyridoxine, including isoniazid, penicillamine and oral contraceptives, which may increase the requirements for pyridoxine.
Pyridoxine hydrochloride may reduce the effect of levodopa, a drug used in the treatment of Parkinsons disease unless a dopa decarboxylase inhibitor is also given.
Data on exposed pregnancies indicate no adverse effects of pyridoxine in therapeutic doses on pregnancy or the health of the foetus or newborn child.
Animal studies are insufficient with respect to effects on pregnancy, embryonal/foetal development, parturition or postnatal development.
Caution should be exercised when prescribing to pregnant women.
Data on exposed pregnancies indicate no adverse effects of pyridoxine in therapeutic doses during lactation.
