HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Mouth ulcers in a person taking AKT4 is most likely due to Vitamin deficiency ( most likely Pyridoxine ). With supplementation of Pyridoxine these ulcers will subside . So kindly start taking it.

If the ulcers still persists then he may have to undergo certain tests to know what is the cause of that. In that case get the following tests done and revert back .

Serum ANA, Serum Ferritin, Serum Vitamin B12, Edge biopsy microscopy.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
