Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to use caution with any 100 mg B6 supplement. The data shows that the ingredient calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. While this product contains B6, not calcium, you should always check for potential interactions with your current medications. Start with a lower dose and consult your healthcare provider before use.
