SupportDoes medication affect Vitamin B12 test results?
Yes, certain medications can affect Vitamin B12 levels in the blood. Metformin, commonly used for diabetes, can lower Vitamin B12 levels over time. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2 blockers, used to treat acid reflux, may also interfere with B12 absorption. It's important to let your doctor know about any medications you are taking before the test so that they can consider these factors when interpreting your results.
