BIO-H-TIN Vitamin H contains 5 mg biotin per tablet. If you are having a laboratory test, you must tell your doctor or the laboratory staff that you are taking or have recently taken BIO-H-TIN vitamin H, as biotin may affect the results of such tests. Depending on the examination, the results may be falsely increased or falsely decreased due to the biotin. Your doctor may ask you to stop taking BIO-H-TIN vitamin H before laboratory tests are carried out. You should also be aware that other products you may be taking, such as multivitamins or supplements for hair, skin and nails, may also contain biotin and may affect the results of laboratory tests. Please tell your doctor or laboratory staff if you are taking such products.
Taking BIO-H-TIN Vitamin H 5 mg with other medicines

If you regularly take antiepileptic drugs, please note that these drugs may lower the vitamin H blood level.
