Vitamin B6 Tablets IP

1. Product Introduction

Vitamin B6 Tablets IP 5 mg are uncoated tablets containing pyridoxine hydrochloride, a form of vitamin B6 needed for amino-acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis and normal nervous-system function. Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. is named as manufacturer and Healthy Inc as exporter in the supplied product brief.

Pyridoxine supplementation may be indicated for vitamin B6 deficiency or, under medical supervision, to help prevent isoniazid-associated peripheral neuropathy in patients at risk. It is not a general treatment for every cause of peripheral neuropathy.

2. Product Specifications

Note: The explicit 5 mg product label takes precedence over generic marketing text listing higher strengths. Finished-product pharmacopoeial compliance requires testing and documentation.

3. Manufacturing Technology

For pyridoxine tablets, manufacturing controls may include validated blending, compression, tablet weight and hardness checks, and protection from excessive light exposure. The supplied 5 mg formula specifies an uncoated tablet; references to film-coated products describe possible separate variants and must not be attributed to this SKU.

Actual manufacturing methods, equipment, facility location and WHO-GMP certification require confirmation from current site records and certificates.

4. Quality Assurance

• Identity and assay of pyridoxine hydrochloride using a validated, specification-appropriate analytical method.
• Tablet mass variation or content uniformity, as applicable.
• Disintegration and other required physical-quality tests for the uncoated tablet.
• Stability studies to justify shelf life, packaging and storage requirements.
• Microbial-quality controls as applicable to the finished dosage form.

Do not assume fixed assay limits, disintegration times or shelf life without an approved product specification.

5. Therapeutic Uses and Nutritional Role

• Vitamin B6 deficiency: Used to prevent or correct deficiency where supplementation is clinically indicated.
• Isoniazid treatment: Pyridoxine may be prescribed to reduce the risk of isoniazid-associated peripheral neuropathy, especially in at-risk patients.
• Metabolism: Vitamin B6 supports amino-acid metabolism, hemoglobin synthesis and normal nerve function.
• Selected medical uses: Pregnancy-related nausea and certain forms of sideroblastic anemia require condition-specific treatment plans; this 5 mg tablet is not automatically an appropriate dose.

Existing numbness or tingling can have many causes and requires medical assessment. Vitamin B6 excess can itself cause neuropathy.

6. Export and Regulatory Support

Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. and Healthy Inc are identified in the supplied information as manufacturer and exporter. For B2B enquiries, request product-specific manufacturing authorization, certificate of analysis, approved artwork, stability data, and destination-country registration documents.

WHO-GMP, COPP, Free Sale Certificate, CTD/ACTD dossier availability, supply to tuberculosis programs and international shipment terms must be confirmed before being represented as available.

8. Dosage and Administration

Dosage is indication-specific and must follow the approved product label or prescriber's instructions. The provided product label confirms 5 mg per tablet but does not establish a universal adult, pediatric, pregnancy or tuberculosis-prophylaxis regimen.

Swallow with water; it may be taken with food if stomach upset occurs. Do not self-prescribe high-dose pyridoxine or combine several B6-containing products without checking total intake.

9. Side Effects and Precautions

• Possible adverse effects include nausea and gastrointestinal discomfort.
• Important: Prolonged excessive vitamin B6 intake can cause sensory peripheral neuropathy, including tingling, numbness and balance difficulties.
• Pyridoxine may reduce the effectiveness of levodopa when levodopa is used without a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor.
• Patients with unexplained neuropathy should seek clinical assessment rather than increasing vitamin B6 dosage.
• Use during pregnancy, breastfeeding or childhood should follow individual medical advice and the approved label.

10. Storage Instructions

Store in the original, properly closed container and protect from excess light and moisture. Follow the temperature and expiry conditions printed on the approved finished-product label; the supplied 5 mg composition does not independently establish a 25°C limit or a 36-month shelf life.

Keep out of reach of children.
