    How It Works

    Mechanism of action

    Vitamin B6, converted in the body to pyridoxal 5′-phosphate, a cofactor in amino-acid metabolism. Chronic doses above about 100 mg a day can cause sensory neuropathy.

    What compounding can change

    When Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) is compounded for one patient, your prescriber can choose the concentration, combine it with other ingredients, and pick the base. Commercial products come in fixed strengths and bases.

    Please note: Compounded medications require a prescription from a licensed prescriber for an individual patient. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality. A compounded medication is not the same as, or a generic version of, any FDA-approved drug. This page is general information, not medical advice. Your prescriber decides whether a treatment is right for you and sets the final ingredients, strength and dosage form.
