An Answer to my own Question

I posted asking if there was a connection between metformin and my nails
breaking, splitting, and peeling. I asked everyone I could think of.
The pharmacist said it was probably the birth control pills. I don't
think so, I was on a stronger dose for 20 years with no prob. My GP
didn't know, but suggested I take pre-natal vitamins. The chief
pathologist where I work said that it was likely that the metformin
could cause this because of the vitamin B deficiency. She said B's are
used for hair and nails.
