I'm not sure whether any of them have this. Most are made with a binding material and a coating but not this. Would be interesting to know whether there are any though. And what the differences are in the way they work. I have used Meds in the past with Enteric Coating but not AED meds.

My research shows that it's just the opposite. It is the calcium that impacts the absorption of the AED medication.
I suggest you Google this yourself or ask your physician and pharmacist.
Good luck with your search k

I know about the Enteric Coated drugs . But I don’t know of any AED meds with Enteric Coating.

You may want to talk to your Dr. Or maybe see if the pharmacist knows of any AED with this

Ok. Thank you. Sorry for late reply. Bad side effects from Briviact at the moment.

I dont believe it blocks it at all. Ii think I read a journal article like a decade ago about enteric coated calcium meds for pregnancy.
