Miglitol, an α-glucosidase inhibitor, prevents the metformin-induced fall in serum folate and vitamin B12 in subjects with type 2 diabetes Since folate and vitamin B 12 absorption may be increased by colonic bacterial activity, their status may be improved by miglitol, an 伪-glucosidase inhibi....
4) Metformin has also been shown to cause vitamin B-12 deficiency(24). In research, this was linked to the dose of metformin used. Patients need to understand that Metformin is a drug. Care Oncology recommend four drugs and sometimes five, but drugs can have strong interactions with other ...

Decreased serum vitamin B12 concentrations, with or without clinical manifestations (e.g., anemia).Symptoms rapidly reversible following discontinuation of metformin or supplementation with vitamin B12. Monitor hematologic parameters (e.g., hemoglobin, serum vitamin B12 concentrations) prior to initiation ...
Metformin may increase the risk of vitamin B12 deficiency. A rare but serious complication of metformin treatment is lactic acidosis, which is characterized by a blood pH of less than 7.35 and a plasma lactate concentration of greater than 5.0 mmol/L. The risk of lactic acidosis increases with...
The aim of the study is to compare the effects of metformin and insulin treatment for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on vitamin B12 and homocysteine (Hcy) status.MethodsWomen with GDM, who met criteria for insulin treatment, were randomly assigned to metformin (n=89) or insulin (n=91)...
