1 The effect of metformin on vitamin B12 levels in pediatric patients. Metformin NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 Homo sapiens
2 In adults, one well-documented side effect of metformin is vitamin B12 deficiency. Metformin NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 Homo sapiens
3 This study examined the changes of vitamin B12 levels in pediatric patients being treated with metformin administration. Metformin NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 Homo sapiens
4 The effects of varying doses of metformin on the mean vitamin B12 level were investigated at 6-month, 12-month, 24-month and 36-month intervals. Metformin NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 Homo sapiens
5 The degree of compliance of metformin intake on vitamin B12 level also was studied. Metformin NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 Homo sapiens
6 Mean vitamin B12 drop was only noticeable (p<0.05) in patients taking high dose of metformin with a good compliance. Metformin NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 Homo sapiens
7 Our findings suggest metformin treatment in children does not cause vitamin B12 deficiency; however, long-term treatment could reduce vitamin B12 levels when patients take a high dose consistently. Metformin NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 Homo sapiens
