LAWYER and founder of Polaris Lawyers, Nick Mann, is encouraging people to come forward and share their experiences with vitamin B6 toxicity as its class action against Blackmores continues.
As the firm started investigating a potential class action earlier this year (PD 05 Jun), the TGA had proposed scheduling supplements containing between 50mg and 200mg of vitamin B6 as S3 Pharmacist-only medicines - a decision finalised this week (PD 26 Nov).
"The decision made by the TGA shows that concerns from affected consumers and practitioners about the dangers of B6 are starting to be heard and understood," Mann said.
"It is a step in the right direction, and what we hope will be one of many steps to better protect unsuspecting consumers," he added.
The firm has now heard from over 2,000 people who have suffered the effects of vitamin B6 toxicity, as well as clinicians with affected patients.
