Excessive intake of pyridoxine may cause neurological disorders, so prolonged high-dose use should be avoided. The prescribed dosage must be strictly followed, and if symptoms do not improve after more than a month of use, consulting a specialist is necessary. Patients at risk of lipid overload should regularly monitor their blood lipid levels and adjust dosages accordingly.
