Can I take Tegretol/Carbatrol with food or other medications?
Taking Tegretol/Carbatrol with calcium containing medications may decrease the absorption of Tegretol/Carbatrol by the stomach/small intestine. Most medications, however, can be taken safely with Tegretol/Carbatrol. Tell your doctor that you are taking Tegretol/Carbatrol before beginning to take other prescription drugs.
