Pyridoxine is otherwise called as
Vitamin B6
The correct answer is Vitamin B6.
Pyridoxine is vitamin B6; its active coenzyme pyridoxal phosphate is needed for amino-acid metabolism (transamination) and haem and neurotransmitter synthesis. Isoniazid causes B6 deficiency, which leads to peripheral neuropathy, so pyridoxine is given with INH.
Vitamin B1 is thiamine, B2 is riboflavin and B12 is cobalamin.
Short trick: B1 Thiamine, B2 Riboflavin, B3 Niacin, B5 Pantothenic acid, B6 Pyridoxine, B7 Biotin, B9 Folate, B12 Cobalamin.
