1. An extended-release topiramate capsule comprising:
- a capsule shell comprising a single population of coated particles;
wherein each coated particle comprises a core and a coating thereon;
wherein each particle core comprises a homogeneous mixture throughout its core,the mixture comprising;
40 wt-% to 50 wt-% of topiramate, based on the total weight of an uncoated particle core;
45 wt-% to 55 wt-% of one or more filler(s), based on the total weight of an uncoated particle core; and
3 wt-% to 7 wt-% of one or more binder(s), based on the total weight of an uncoated particle core;
wherein the coating comprises;
55 wt-% to 65 wt-% of one or more release control agent(s), based on the total weight of the coating;
20 wt-% to 25 wt-% of one or more pore former(s), based on the total weight of the coating; and
10 wt-% to 20 wt-% of one or more plasticizer(s), based on the total weight of the coating;
wherein the particles are coated in an amount sufficient to provide a weight gain of 8% to 14%.
