20 mg/mL Oral Suspension (ASHP Standard Concentration) (ASHP 2017)

A 20 mg/mL oral suspension may be made with topiramate tablets or powder, Ora-Plus and Ora-Sweet. Measure out 2,000 mg of topiramate (equivalent tablets or powder). If using tablets, crush in a mortar and reduce to a fine powder. Add 10 mL of Ora-Plus and mix to a uniform paste; mix while adding an additional 40 mL of Ora-Plus in incremental proportions. Add a small amount of Ora-Sweet and mix. Transfer to a calibrated, amber bottle; rinse mortar with Ora-Sweet and add sufficient quantity to make 100 mL. Label "shake well." Stable for 90 days refrigerated or at room temperature (Allen 2017).
