Pyridoxine for Prevention of Hand-Foot Syndrome Caused by Chemotherapy: A Systematic Review
The conclusion of this study published in 2013:
There is inadequate evidence to make any recommendation about using pyridoxine for prevention of HFS caused by chemotherapy. However, pyridoxine 400 mg may have some efficacy. Further studies of large sample sizes are needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pyridoxine, especially at high dose, in comparison with placebo.

Hi @d13, I am sorry you are going through this. You will see that I moved your post to a discussion from April about getting neuropathy after chemo. I did this so you can connect with other members.
