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.

Quote:
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.
