How does Metformin interact with proton pump inhibitors and are there potential impacts on gastrointestinal health or the absorption of nutrients and medications?
Metformin and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) do not interact significantly. However, PPIs may affect the absorption of B12 and magnesium, which can indirectly impact those on metformin by exacerbating its gastrointestinal side effects.
