Isoniazid causes a "neuropathy" due to the fact it depletes B6.
When B6 is given with it (which it almost always is), this neuropathy does not manifest.

Pyridoxine is given to patients taking Isoniazid (INH) to combat the toxic side effects of the drug. It is given 10–50 mg/day to patients on to prevent peripheral neuropathy and CNS effects that are associated with the use of INH.
