Precautions

This medication should not be taken by individuals who are allergic to this drug or any of its ingredients. Additionally, infants under 12 months of age and patients with severely impaired kidney function should not take this medication. During treatment, medications such as phosphate, calcium salts, oral tetracycline antibiotics, and antacids should not be taken concurrently. It is also advisable not to take this medication together with levodopa. Patients may need to consult with a doctor or pharmacist before taking this medication. For example, those currently receiving treatment or with heart or circulatory problems, individuals with weakened kidney function, low blood protein levels, and pregnant women should definitely consult a professional. If unusual symptoms such as red spots on the skin, diarrhea, irregular heartbeat, or central nervous system dysfunction occur during use, the medication should be stopped immediately and a professional consulted. Long-term consumption of pyridoxine at doses over 500mg to 2g per day may lead to peripheral nerve issues, so caution is needed. Overdose may result in nausea, vomiting, increased blood sodium concentration, congestive heart failure, and swelling. Care must be taken as the concomitant use of aldosterone antagonists or triamterene may raise blood potassium levels. If you accidentally take too much or if symptoms do not improve after about a month of use, consult a professional immediately. This medication must be taken strictly according to the prescribed method and dosage, and it is advisable to avoid teas containing tannins, such as green tea or black tea, before, after, or during use. Keep medicine out of the reach of children, avoid direct sunlight, and store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place to maintain quality and prevent misuse.
