Vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 can be taken together. They are often combined in multivitamin supplements and in B-complex supplements. Vitamin B6 deficiency is uncommon, however, and usually occurs in people who have low levels of other B-complex vitamins, such as vitamin B12 and folic acid. If you take multivitamin supplements, be sure to follow the dosage recommendations from your doctor or pharmacist.

Vitamin B6 and B12 can be taken together. However, before adding any vitamins to your medication regimen, you should talk to your doctor about possible interactions with your current medications or underlying medical conditions. If you are experiencing fatigue, it is also a good idea to talk to your doctor about this symptom -- your doctor can determine what is causing the fatigue and prescribe the right treatment, including vitamins if needed.

Yes and they should be because almost all vitamins and minerals work synergistically. It’s difficult to take separate preparations of vitamins and minerals and generally not necessary unless determined by a qualified health professional, who would then give you the exact dosages and times of consumption. A properly formulated multivitamin and mineral formula (MVM) will contain the correct amounts of both B vitamins and deliver what’s necessary for the vast majority.
