Oh, I see. We would have had topiramate suspension made up by a specials manufacturer here, such products are virtually never extemporaneously dispensed for several reasons......

2. Far less profitable.
3. Lack of necessary ingredients and equipment.
4. Staff not trained to do it.
5. Risk of errors and legal problems.
