  • EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
  • Patients with type 1 diabetes;
  • Patients with a diagnosis of chronic renal disease other than diabetic renal disease with or without hypertensive renal disease;

  • Patients with clinically significant liver disease or transaminase (alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase) levels \>2.5 x upper limit of normal measured at the Screening Visit;
  • Patients with bilirubin levels \>1.5 x upper limit of normal measured at the Screening Visit;
  • Patients with a history of allergic or other adverse response to vitamin B preparations;
  • Patients who require \>50 mg of vitamin B6 daily;
  • Patients who have a history of dysphasia and swallowing disorders;
