• Topiramate by virtue of binding to these phosphorylation sites should allosterically modulate the biological activity of these dopamine receptors and transporters and prevent PKA from phosphorylating these regulatory sites.
• the likely consequence of this biological activity is that the functional state of the dopaminergic mediate neural pathways will be reduced during periods of high activity, as occurs acutely after cocaine ingestion, and may be enhanced during periods of abnormally low activity, as occurs during cocaine withdrawal [Self, D. W., Genova, L. M., Hope, B. T., Barnhart, W. J., Spencer, J. J., Nestler, E.

• a unit dose typically contains about 15 to about 250 mg of the active ingredient.
• Optimal dosages to be administered may be readily determined by those skilled in the art, and will vary with the particular compound used, the mode of administration, the strength of the preparation, the mode of administration, and the advancement of the disease condition. In addition, factors associated with the particular patient being treated, including patient age, weight, diet and time of administration, will result in the need to adjust dosages.

• suitable carriers and additives include starches, sugars, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like. Because of their ease in administration, tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit form, in which case solid pharmaceutical carriers are obviously employed. If desired, tablets may be sugar coated or enteric coated by standard techniques. Suppositories may be prepared, in which case cocoa butter could be used as the carrier.
• the carrier will usually comprise sterile water, though other ingredients, for example, for purposes such as aiding solubility or for preservation, may be included. Injectable solutions may also be prepared in which case appropriate stabilizing agents may be employed.
• Topiramate is currently available for oral administration in round tablets containing 25 mg, 100 mg or 200 mg of active agent.
• the tablets contain the following inactive ingredients: lactose hydrous, pregelatinized starch, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, magnesium stearate, purified water, carnauba wax, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol, synthetic iron oxide, and polysorbate 80.
