pyridoxine (vitamin B6) can decrease the effect of levodopa.
What are drug interactions with pyridoxine?
The chemical name for vitamin B6 is pyridoxine.
Pyridoxine hydrochloride is the salt form of pyridoxine, which is a form of vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 is considered vital for human health.
anti tb drugs.. such as isoniazid is given with vit b complex tablets because it combats the toxic side effects of the drug (INH). with regards to the interaction of Vit B to Isoniazid- it thus can increase pyridoxine requirements. pyridoxine is one of the compounds that can be called vitamin B6.summary:it is given with vitamin b complex to increase pyridoxine requirements (that assists in sodium and potassium balance in the body and promotes RBC production) and it combats the toxic side effects of the drug ISONIAZID/INH. anti tb drugs.. such as isoniazid is given with vit b complex tablets because it combats the toxic side effects of the drug (INH). with regards to the interaction of Vit B to Isoniazid- it thus can increase pyridoxine requirements. pyridoxine is one of the compounds that can be called vitamin B6.summary:it is given with vitamin b complex to increase pyridoxine requirements (that assists in sodium and potassium balance in the body and promotes RBC production) and it combats the toxic side effects of the drug ISONIAZID/INH. anti tb drugs.. such as isoniazid is given with vit b complex tablets because it combats the toxic side effects of the drug (INH). with regards to the interaction of Vit B to Isoniazid- it thus can increase pyridoxine requirements. pyridoxine is one of the compounds that can be called vitamin B6.summary:it is given with vitamin b complex to increase pyridoxine requirements (that assists in sodium and potassium balance in the body and promotes RBC production) and it combats the toxic side effects of the drug ISONIAZID/INH.from kaye kaye coraton
Levodopa is a drug that helps to supplement dopamine, a neurotransmitter, to the brain of persons with PD.
Levodopa itself is not well tolerated, which is why it is combined with carbidopa. Carbidopa decreases peripheral metabolism of levodopa, which allows for lower doses of levodopa and less-severe side effects.
Yes, pyridoxine hydrochloride is a chemical compound.
Although levodopa can cross our BBB, but it will be decarboxylated to dopamine peripherally before reaching our CNS - only small amount of Levodopa will be left and available to pass our BBB.So, instead of giving levodopa in high dose (which can cause lots of side effects), we give levodopa with peripheral decarboxylase inhibitors (e.g. carbidopa, benserazide) which can inhibit decarboxylation of levodopa in GIT and peripheral tissues. (By combining levodopa and peripheral decarobxylase inhibitors, we will have less side effects too)
The chemical formula for pyridoxine hydrochloride is C8h11no.3hc1.
pyridoxine reduces the nausea for about a third of pregnant women who experience morning sickness . In addition, pyridoxine does not have any harmful effects on the fetus.
