<P>Our son takes ADHD medication and we are trying to find what is the best time to give him the med to gain the most of it's use:</P>
<P> </P>
<P>1.  Should it be given with enzymes at the time of a meal to enhance absorption?</P>
<P>2.  If given at the time of a meal with enzymes do the enzymes 'eat' the medication and the body not get the benefits?</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Any insight would be greatly appreciated.</P>

The enzymes will not change how the medication works- they work the same way his own pancreatic enzymes would, to digest food. Oral medications are made to be broken down and absorbed in this environment and be effective. :)

To get the best effect, you'll want to give it to him early in the day, but get a good breakfast into him first since he may have a reduced appetite early on in the day after taking it- especially when new to the med.
