2. Chloramphenicol: Chloramphenicol, an antibiotic, may decrease the effects of vitamin B12. While Mabil is a form of vitamin B12, it’s essential to monitor B12 levels if taking these medications concurrently.
3. Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs): Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors, such as omeprazole or lansoprazole, may reduce the absorption of vitamin B12 (Mabil). This can potentially lead to a deficiency over time.
