HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin B6 100 mg by Bronson
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Bronson Vitamin B6 100 mg contains one active ingredient: vitamin B6 (also called pyridoxine). The tablet also includes inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — which are fillers and binders that help hold the tablet together.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Vitamin B6 is effective for sideroblastic anemia (a blood disorder) and vitamin B6 deficiency itself. It's also effective for pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy, a rare genetic seizure disorder.
The evidence suggests it's likely effective for lowering homocysteine (a compound linked to heart health), and possibly effective for pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting — though if you're pregnant and considering it for morning sickness, your doctor should guide that decision.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Vitamin B6 at doses under 100 mg daily is generally well tolerated; the most common side effects in trials were mild — abdominal pain, headache, heartburn, nausea, and loss of appetite. The real caution kicks in at high doses over time: prolonged use of very high doses can damage nerves (sensory neuropathy), a serious but rare effect.
Daily doses above 1,000 mg or lifetime totals of 1,000 grams or more carry the most risk, though nerve damage can happen at lower doses too. For pregnancy and breastfeeding, we don't have safety data on file, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this dose is right for you.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before starting, check with your pharmacist if you take blood-pressure-lowering drugs, amiodarone (Cordarone), phenobarbital (Luminal), phenytoin (Dilantin), or levodopa — especially if it's used without carbidopa (check whether your formulation includes carbidopa, such as in Sinemet). Moderate-severity interactions are possible with all of these.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This 100 mg dose is useful if you have sideroblastic anemia, vitamin B6 deficiency, or pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy, or if your doctor recommends it for high homocysteine or pregnancy nausea. Be cautious if you take blood-pressure medication, seizure drugs, amiodarone, or levodopa without carbidopa — check with your pharmacist first.
At this dose you're unlikely to hit the high-dose nerve-damage threshold, but don't pile on extra B6 from other supplements without asking.

Vitamin B6 100 mg by Bronson Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Bronson Vitamin B6 100 mg does interact with several medications.
The most serious concern is with blood-pressure-lowering drugs (antihypertensives): vitamin B6 may add to their effect, potentially lowering your blood pressure further than intended. Research in animals and patients suggests high doses can reduce both top and bottom numbers, so if you take any blood pressure medication, you'll want to check this before starting.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Vitamin B6 may also increase the skin-sensitizing effects of amiodarone (a heart rhythm medication), making you more prone to sunburn. At higher doses, it can reduce how well your body absorbs phenobarbital and phenytoin (seizure medications), possibly making them less effective — the research shows this happens at 200 mg daily and above, though we don't know about lower doses.
If you take either of these seizure drugs, steer clear of high-dose B6.
One more thing: if you take levodopa (Parkinson's medication) on its own — without carbidopa added — vitamin B6 can speed up how your body breaks it down. This won't be an issue if you're on Sinemet, which combines levodopa with carbidopa, but it's worth verifying with your pharmacist which formulation you're on.
Additionally, no interactions are documented in our data for the inactive ingredients in this tablet. Altogether, these interactions span 208 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Vitamin B6 100 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Vitamin B6
Amiodarone (Cordarone)
Theoretically, vitamin B6 might increase the photosensitivity caused by amiodarone.
Despite initial case reports suggesting that pyridoxine may have a protective effect against amiodarone-induced photosensitivity, preliminary clinical research suggests that pyridoxine may actually exacerbate this adverse effect.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, vitamin B6 may have additive effects when used with antihypertensive drugs.
Research in hypertensive rats shows that vitamin B6 can decrease systolic blood pressure. Similarly, clinical research in patients with hypertension shows that taking high doses of vitamin B6 may reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure, possibly by reducing plasma levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine.
Phenobarbital (Luminal)
High doses of vitamin B6 may reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenobarbital.
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that vitamin B6 200 mg daily can reduce plasma levels of phenobarbital, possibly by increasing metabolism. It is not known whether lower doses have any effect. Advise people taking phenobarbital to avoid high doses of vitamin B6.
Phenytoin (Dilantin)
High doses of vitamin B6 may reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenytoin.
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that vitamin B6 200 mg daily can reduce plasma levels of phenytoin, possibly by increasing metabolism. It is not known whether lower doses have any effect. Advise people taking phenytoin to avoid high doses of vitamin B6.
Levodopa
Vitamin B6 may increase the metabolism of levodopa when taken alone, but not when taken in conjunction with carbidopa.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) enhances the metabolism of levodopa, reducing its clinical effects. However, this interaction does not occur when carbidopa is used concurrently with levodopa (Sinemet). Therefore, it is not likely to be a problem in most people.
