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;
10 wt-% to 80 wt-% of topiramate, based on the total weight of an uncoated particle core;
10 wt-% to 85 wt-% of one or more filler(s), based on the total weight of an uncoated particle core; and
1 wt-% to 10 wt-% of one or more binder(s), based on the total weight of an uncoated particle core;
wherein the coating comprises;
45 wt-% to 80 wt-% of one or more release controlling agent(s), based on the total weight of the coating;
5 wt-% to 30 wt-% of one or more pore former(s), based on the total weight of the coating; and
5 wt-% to 30 wt-% of one or more plasticizer(s), based on the total weight of the coating;
wherein, when a single dose is given to a healthy human subject, an AUC0-inf of 170 to 210 h·
μ
g/mL within a 95% confidence interval, and a Cmax of 2 to 4 μ
g/mL within a 95% confidence interval are achieved in the subject'"'"'s plasma.
