Mecomin interactions
Antibiotics: The use of antibiotics may alter the intestinal microflora and may decrease the possible contribution of Mecomin by certain inhabitants of the microflora (eg, Lactobacillus spp) to the body's requirement for the vitamin. This may particularly be a problem for vegetarians. Garlic, onions, leeks, bananas, asparagus and artichokes, among other vegetables and fruits, contain inulins which promote the growth of certain colonic bacteria including Lactobacillus spp. Cholestyramine:
Colchicine: Colchicine may cause decreased absorption of Mecomin. Colestipol:
H2-Blockers (Cimetidine, Famotidine, Nizatidine, Ranitidine): Chronic use of H2-blockers may result to decreased absorption of Mecomin. They are unlikely to affect the absorption of supplemental B12.
Metformin: Metformin may decrease the absorption of Mecomin. This possible effect may be reversed with oral calcium supplementation.
Nitrous Oxide: Inhalation of the anesthetic agent nitrous oxide (not to be confused with nitric oxide) can produce a functional deficiency. Nitrous oxide forms a complex with cobalt in Mecomin, the cofactor for methionine synthase, resulting in inactivation of the enzyme.
Para-Amino Salicylic Acid: Chronic use of the anti-tuberculosis drug may decrease the absorption of Mecomin.
Potassium Chloride: It has been reported that potassium chloride may decrease the absorption of Mecomin.
Proton Pump Inhibitors (Lansoprazole, Omeprazole, Pantoprazole, Rabeprazole): Chronic use of proton pump inhibitors may result in decreased absorption, naturally found in food sources.
