metformin and Abnormalities, Drug-Induced

metformin has been researched along with Abnormalities, Drug-Induced in 12 studies

Metformin: A biguanide hypoglycemic agent used in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus not responding to dietary modification. Metformin improves glycemic control by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p289)
metformin : A member of the class of guanidines that is biguanide the carrying two methyl substituents at position 1.

Abnormalities, Drug-Induced: Congenital abnormalities caused by medicinal substances or drugs of abuse given to or taken by the mother, or to which she is inadvertently exposed during the manufacture of such substances. The concept excludes abnormalities resulting from exposure to non-medicinal chemicals in the environment.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To determine whether metformin would safely reduce the rate of first-trimester spontaneous abortion without teratogenicity in 19 women with the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)."9.09Continuing metformin throughout pregnancy in women with polycystic ovary syndrome appears to safely reduce first-trimester spontaneous abortion: a pilot study. ( Cameron, D; Glueck, CJ; Phillips, H; Sieve-Smith, L; Wang, P, 2001)
"To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of pregnancy outcome after metformin use for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), because the efficacy of metformin has been demonstrated in the treatment of infertility caused by PCOS, whereas the fetal safety of metformin has received very little attention, and the few studies addressing this issue are limited by small sample sizes."8.83Pregnancy outcome after first-trimester exposure to metformin: a meta-analysis. ( Gilbert, C; Koren, G; Valois, M, 2006)
"To investigate whether exposure to metformin during the first trimester of pregnancy, for diabetes or other indications, increases the risk of all or specific congenital anomalies."7.88Metformin exposure in first trimester of pregnancy and risk of all or specific congenital anomalies: exploratory case-control study. ( Addor, MC; Bakker, M; Bertaut-Nativel, B; Dolk, H; Garne, E; Gatt, M; Given, JE; Klungsoyr, K; Lelong, N; Loane, M; Morgan, M; Neville, AJ; Pierini, A; Rissmann, A, 2018)
"The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of major birth defects and spontaneous abortion after metformin use during the first trimester of pregnancy."7.88Pregnancy outcome after first-trimester exposure to metformin: A prospective cohort study. ( Beck, E; Grupe, K; Schaefer, C; Scherneck, S; Schlinke, N; Weber-Schoendorfer, C, 2018)
"Polycystic ovary syndrome is characterized among other things by oligo-amenorrhea and may account for more than 75% of cases with anoluvatory infertility."6.43Is metformin therapy for polycystic ovary syndrome safe during pregnancy? ( Brock, B; Ovesen, P; Rungby, J; Schmitz, O; Smidt, K, 2005)
