Topiramate rectal suspensions in pediatric patients

We report our experience with topiramate rectal suspensions in a single center case series of three patients <1 year of age from 2017 to 2020 who received topiramate per rectum after being placed nil per os (NPO) status at a free standing children’s hospital. The objective was to describe the compounding methods and clinical outcomes of three of the youngest patients to receive topiramate rectal suspensions. All three patients received topiramate per rectum for 2–4 days. No adverse effects or increase in seizure frequency were noted.
