Orally, one tablet daily. Or, as directed by a doctor.
If the patient misses 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.

Vitamin B₆: Although vitamin B₆ has generally been considered relatively nontoxic, long term (two months or longer) administration of large (megadose) dosages (usually 2 grams or more daily) of vitamin B₆ can cause neurological symptoms manifested as paresthesia (more noticeable at night and limited to the extremities), bone pains (described as lightning, stabbing or shooting like a knitting needle or electric shocks), hyperesthesia (described as burning, pricking, stinging, or itching), muscle weakness (difficulty in running, lifting, climbing stairs and loss of manual dexterity), fasciculation (described as twitching, restlessness or fidgeting), and numbness of the limbs and face.
Nicotinic Acid: High-doses of Nicotinic Acid equivalent to 1.5 grams daily may cause dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath, sweating, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and myalgia (muscle pain).
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 use more than the recommended dose.
Consult the doctor if symptoms persist or new symptoms appear.

Pyridoxine (Vitamin B₆): Undesirable neurologic effects have been reported after chronic administration of 500 mg vitamin B₆ daily.
Nicotinic Acid: Dosages of Nicotinic Acid in excess of 100 mg daily may cause flushing of the face, arms, and chest, itching, and nausea.
Consult the doctor if any undesirable effect occurs.

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 (Vaneular) 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.

Store at temperatures not exceeding 30°C.
