Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are among the most potent antimicrobial agents, which have seen their increasing use as human and veterinary medicines to control bacterial infections. FQs have been extensively found in surface water and municipal wastewaters, which has raised great concerns due to their negative impacts to humans and ecological health.
#103 Vitamin B6: Complex Biochemistry, Testing, Toxicity, and Appropriate Uses
1.5 CE Total | 0.5 Pharm
Vitamin B6 has multiple mechanisms of action in humans. Additionally, its biochemistry is complex with multiple vitamers, all having potential effects in the body. Added to this complexity is the known effect of low B6 causing neuropathy, but also a bimodal “B6 toxicity state” where low or high levels of supplementation may trigger neuropathy as well. While there are many publications regarding the biochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology of B6 a clear understanding of its toxicity is elusive in the data. This CME is designed to lay out the known science and give clinical guidelines for the safe use of vitamin B6, as well as strategies for dealing with potential toxicity.
