I would like to start biotin (1000) and myo-inositol (4g). Is this ok with my lolo and Jardiance medications?

Question

Well controlled type 1 diabetic. I take metformin 750 mg 2x a day. Lolo for 2 months. I am tapering off my Effexor to completely eliminate it. I am taking 75 mg. I started two weeks ago Jardiance 5mg.

Good morning, ma'am, I have not found any interactions or contraindications with biotin and inositol and your medications. However, some references indicate that inositol can help lower blood sugar levels especially if taken with diabetes medications. Therefore, I suggest monitoring your blood sugar levels closely for the first 2-3 weeks of taking it. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
