Hi,

Taking pyridoxine one tablet in place of two should not matter much. You can continue to do so, but take other medications as prescribed for tuberculosis.

However, you can take foods rich in Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). The richest sources of vitamin B6 include fish, liver and other organ meats, fortified cereals, potatoes and other starchy vegetables, and non-citizen fruits. Kindly do the follow-up as advised by your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
