There are several different medications that can affect the absorption of vitamin B12. There is not sufficient or there is conflicting evidence that suggests these medcations might affect the asorption of Vitamin B12. Patients that use these medications should keep tract of their Vitamin B12 levels. Medications that can interfere with the absorption of Vitamin B12 include:
-Chloramphenicol (antibiotic) May interfere with the RBC response to Vit. B12
-Proton Pump Inhibitors (Prilosec) These medications slow down the absorption of Vit. B12. They do this because they slowly release acid into the stomach.
-H2 Receptor Antagonist (Pepcid, Zantac) These medications slow down the absorbtion of Vit. B12 by releasing hydrochloric acid into the stomach.
-Metformin (Hypoglycemic used for diabetes) May alter the mobility and bacteria in the intestines, or may alter the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vit. B12.[1]
