Ok so I am fresh out of ideas. I have called compounding pharmacies and searched online. The pharmacy I work for needs to compound Tapazole (Methimazole) into an oral suspension/liquid. We do not want to buy the bulk powder, we would rather use tables. Anyone out there have any ideas or suggestions?

Is there such a formula?
What is the stability?

I looked at all of our compounding recipes at work, and they all require the powder. Maybe you can borrow some powder from another store?
