How does Metformin affect vitamin B12 levels? What symptoms might indicate a deficiency and how can patients supplement to address this issue?
Metformin can reduce the absorption of vitamin B12, potentially leading to deficiency. Symptoms of deficiency may include fatigue, weakness, and neuropathy. Patients can take B12 supplements or increase dietary intake of B12-rich foods.
