A member asked:
I've started taking magnesium and vit b6 tablets and have since had two spells of dry flushing on face, arms and chest. could the tabs cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely: When given IV magnesium can cause a warm flushing sensation deep within, not on the skin, but i've never heard of this happening with oral magnesium as one doesn't get a high level in the blood at once. B6 will not cause this. The only vitamin that causes flushing is b3 in the Niacin form (not as niacineamide) so this is almost certainly a coincidence unless it's an unusual reaction to excipients.
