Orally, one tablet daily.
Or, as directed by a doctor.
Missed Dose: If the patient missed a dose, just take the next dose and the subsequent doses at the usual recommended schedule, i.e., once a day.
Do not double the dose.

Signs and Symptoms of Overdosage: Vitamin B₆: Cases have been reported of reversible sensory neuropathy developing at Pyridoxine doses less than 500 mg/day (dose range: 200-300 mg/day) taken for 36 months. Cases of reversible sensory peripheral neuropathy as a result of prolonged Pyridoxine use at a dose of 200 mg daily have also been reported.
If the patient has taken more than the recommended dosage, consult a doctor or contact a Poison Control Center right away.

If the patient is allergic to any component of the product.

Do not take more than the recommended dose.
Consult the Doctor: Consult a doctor before using this product if the patient: has a history of stroke or risk factors for stroke; has any coagulation (blood clotting) problem or is taking anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin, aspirin, etc.).
If any undesirable effect occurs.

Pyridoxine (Vitamin B₆): Although Pyridoxine has generally been considered relatively non-toxic, adverse neurologic effects have been reported following chronic administration of high Pyridoxine doses (e.g., 100-500 mg daily) and long term (i.e., 2 months or longer) megadose (usually 2 g or more daily) Pyridoxine use.
d-Alpha Tocopheryl Acid Succinate (Vitamin E): Doses of Vitamin E greater than 1,000 mg (equivalent to 1,490 IU) per day have been associated with anticoagulant (blood thinning) effects.
Stroke with bleeding has been reported with high dose Vitamin E.

Neuromuscular blocking agents (e.g., Tubocurarine chloride, Metocurine iodide, Pancuronium bromide, and Vecuronium bromide) may be enhanced by high doses of Vitamin B₁ (>500 mg daily), although the clinical significance of this is unknown.
Take this medicine (Neurogen-E) at least two hours before or after taking Phenobarbital or Phenytoin since high doses of Vitamin B₆ may reduce the blood levels of these drugs.
Concomitant intake of anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin, aspirin, etc.) and Vitamin E may result in enhanced anticoagulant (blood thinning) response.

Store at temperatures not exceeding 30°C.
Protect from light.
