Metformin 14-23 NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 Homo sapiens 35-38 35592896-2 2022 In adults, one well-documented side effect of metformin is vitamin B12 deficiency. Metformin 46-55 NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 Homo sapiens 67-70 35592896-4 2022 This study examined the changes of vitamin B12 levels in pediatric patients being treated with metformin administration. Metformin 95-104 NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 Homo sapiens 43-46 35592896-6 2022 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 32-41 NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 Homo sapiens 62-65 35592896-7 2022 The degree of compliance of metformin intake on vitamin B12 level also was studied. Metformin 28-37 NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 Homo sapiens 56-59 35592896-9 2022 Mean vitamin B12 drop was only noticeable (p<0.05) in patients taking high dose of metformin with a good compliance. Metformin 83-92 NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 Homo sapiens 13-16 35592896-13 2022 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 21-30 NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B3 Homo sapiens 142-145
