What is happening. Vitamin B6 may help correct low pyridoxal phosphate status associated with long-term theophylline therapy.

Mechanism. Replacement of a potentially depleted cofactor involved in neurotransmitter metabolism.

Recommendation. Use standard supplemental doses unless a clinician directs higher therapy; persistent neurologic symptoms require theophylline level assessment.
