Department of Pharmacy Practice, Sri Ramachandra Faculty of Pharmacy, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Electronic address:

Published: November 2020

Purpose: Pyridoxine hydrochloride and magnesium sulfate (pyridoxine-Mg) have been used for the management of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We present a case report of 2 children with ASD who were administered pyridoxine-Mg for 2 months.

Methods: The Childhood Autism Rating Scale, Second Edition, was used to confirm the adverse reaction. The Naranjo Adverse Drug Reaction Probability Scale was used to assess causality.

Results: Children were reported by their parents as being hyperactive. Evaluation by the psychologist using the Childhood Autism Rating Scale, Second Edition, also confirmed the reaction. According to the Naranjo scale, hyperactivity had a possible and probable association with pyridoxine-Mg for child 1 and 2, respectively.

Implications: A probable to possible association exists between hyperactivity and pyridoxine-Mg. Clinical Trial Registry-India identifier: CTRI/2019/07/020102.

Aims: Autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia are traditionally viewed as distinct diagnostic categories. However, evidence increasingly suggests overlapping pathological functioning at various levels, starting from brain circuitry to behaviour. Notably, both disorders are characterized by anomalous minimal self-experience (altered body ownership and agency), which is a trait-like, phenomenological distortion.

Many children with autism struggle with movement difficulties, yet the causes of these difficulties remain unclear. One possible explanation is atypical motor planning and integration of visual and motoric information. Before performing a goal-directed movement, the brain creates a prediction of the movement based on visual and sensory information and previous experience, forming a "blueprint" of the motor steps needed to achieve the goal.
