ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]ABSTRACTMetformin, which belongs to the biguanide class, is one of the most generally used oral hypoglycemic agents. It has been used for more than 50 years and was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1994 (American Diabetes Association, 2009) whereas Amlodipine is a long acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, which is used in the treatment of angina to lower the BP (Blood pressure). the aim is to know the effect of co-administration of this two drugs in Wistar rats ...

It has been used for more than 50 years and was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1994 (American Diabetes Association, 2009). Currently, many clinical practice guidelines for patients with type 2 diabetes, including the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the European Association for the Study of Diabetes ...

CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 12 ]The current use of serum Vitamin B12 level relies on several different range points for Vitamin B12 status. Serum Vitamin B12 level under 148 pmol/L are said to be deficient, low/borderline levels are interpreted from levels between 148-220 pmol/L (Mazokopakis and Starakis, 2012). Normal ranges of Vitamin B12 serum range from 220- 800 pmol/L, levels that exceed this are rarely suspicious in cause, although excessive B12 serum may be a marker of myloproliferative disorders (Pernicova and Korbonit ...

CHAPTER FOUR - [ Total Page(s): 6 ]CHAPTER FOUR4.0 Results4.1 Hematological parameter in control and test groups As summarized in table 1, the mean RBC counts were 7.62 ± 2.83 x1012/L for the control and 6.53 ± 0.57 x1012/L for co-administration of metformin and amlodipine fed groups respectively. Although, decrease in RBC counts was observed in the treated (co-administration of metformin and amlodipine) dose group, these were statistically significant compared to control groups (student t test P0.05) higher in the tr ...

CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]CHAPTER FIVE5.0 DiscussionMetformin (1,1-dimethylbiguanide) is the most widely used drug to treat type 2 diabetes, and is one of only two oral anti-diabetic drugs on the World Health Organization (WHO) list of essential medicines (American Diabetes Association, 2009). Amlodipine is a long acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, which is used in the treatment of angina to lower the BP. Co-administration of Metformin and Amlodipine have been discovered to lead to vitamin B12 deficiency. Al ... Continue reading---
