    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Pharmacology
    • Nutritional Science

    Background:

    • Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) and its vitamers are involved in numerous interactions with drugs, hormones, and neurotransmitters.
    • Nutritional status, particularly vitamin and protein deficiencies, can alter drug metabolism and therapeutic outcomes.
    • Distinctions between nutritional vitamin B6 deficiency and hereditary pyridoxine dependency are significant.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the complex interactions between vitamin B6 and various drugs.
    • To examine how vitamin B6 status influences drug biotransformation and efficacy.
    • To highlight instances where vitamin B6 deficiency or supplementation adversely affects drug actions.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of biochemical and pharmacological studies.
