Vitamin B6 (Benadon/pyridoxine) is not routinely required for every patient on anti-TB treatment; it is prescribed for those at higher risk of nerve damage.
Next Steps
Ask your treating doctor whether you need pyridoxine, especially if you have diabetes, malnutrition, pregnancy, HIV, alcohol dependence, kidney disease, or develop tingling or numbness in your hands or feet.
Health Tips
Do not modify your anti-TB regimen on your own, and report any tingling, numbness, jaundice, or vision changes to your doctor immediately.
