Metformin use in pregnancy not associated with congenital anomalies

Investigators wanted to find out whether exposure to metformin during the first trimester of pregnancy, for diabetes or other indications, increased the risk of congenital anomalies. They examined a European congenital anomaly registry (EUROmediCAT). They found 168 babies affected by a congenital anomaly (141 non-genetic and 27 genetic) who were exposed to metformin. No evidence was found for a significantly increased risk of all non-genetic congenital anomalies following exposure to metformin during the first trimester.
