Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with allergic reactions to its components. Caution should be exercised when administering this medication to patients currently undergoing treatment with a physician or to women who are pregnant or could become pregnant. If taken with levodopa, a medication used to treat Parkinson's disease, the pyridoxine component in this medication can reduce the effectiveness of levodopa, so consultation with a physician is essential. Additionally, this medication contains a dye called Yellow No. 5, so caution is necessary for those who have allergies or hypersensitivity to this component. During treatment, gastrointestinal symptoms such as stomach discomfort, diarrhea, or constipation, as well as skin rashes and redness, may occur, so consult with a physician or pharmacist if any unusual symptoms appear. This medication can affect the menstrual cycle or amount, and if bleeding persists for a prolonged period, it is essential to consult a specialist. If taking oral contraceptives containing estrogen or if there is a risk of thrombosis, it is important to consult a physician due to the vitamin E present in this medication. Long-term high-dose intake of pyridoxine may cause neurological issues, so the prescribed dosage and duration must be adhered to. Always follow the prescribed dosage and administration; if symptoms do not improve after about a month of treatment, consult a professional. When storing, keep out of reach of children, avoid direct sunlight, and store in a cool, dry place. Additionally, to maintain the quality of the medication, it is advisable not to transfer it to another container from its original one.
