Precautions and Warnings
May interfere with certain laboratory measurements
Patients should not exceed recommended dose
Parkinson's disease: use with caution in patients receiving levodopa alone as pyridoxine may antagonise its effect.
Biotin may interfere with laboratory tests that are based on a biotin/streptavidin interaction. Falsely decreased or increased test results may occur. The risk of interference is higher in children and patients with renal impairment and this increases with higher doses. Where interference is suspected, alternative tests not susceptible to biotin interference should be used.
