An Introduction to Pyridoxine Drug Interactions
Pyridoxine (vitamin B

Pyridoxine Interactions Explained
The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when pyridoxine is combined with any of the drugs listed above.
Amiodarone
Some studies suggest that pyridoxine may increase the risk of sun sensitivity due to amiodarone, although other studies have not shown this effect. Be aware that you may be more sensitive to the sun. It is a good idea to use sunscreen if you will be out in the sun.
Phenobarbital
Early research suggests that pyridoxine may decrease the level of phenobarbital in the blood, perhaps making it less effective. If you take phenobarbital, do not start (or stop) taking high doses of pyridoxine without your healthcare provider's supervision.
Phenytoin
Early research suggests that pyridoxine may decrease the level of phenytoin in the blood, perhaps making it less effective. If you take phenytoin, do not start (or stop) taking high doses of pyridoxine without your healthcare provider's supervision.
