b Paddock Laboratories, Minneapolis, MN. Calculate the percentage of the labeled amount of
zonisamide (C8H8N2O3S) in the portion of Oral Suspension
Empty the capsules, and pour the contents into a mortar or taken:
other suitable container. Crush the capsule contents into a

fine powder using a pestle or other mechanical means. Wet Result = (rU/rS) × (CS/CU) × 100
the powder with a small amount of Vehicle, and triturate to
make a smooth paste. Add the Vehicle to make the mortar rU = peak response of zonisamide from the Sample
contents pourable. Transfer the contents, stepwise and solution
quantitatively, to a calibrated container using the remainder rS = peak response of zonisamide from the Standard
of the Vehicle. Add sufficient Vehicle to bring to final volume, solution
and mix well. [CAUTION—Avoid skin contact or inhalation of
zonisamide by using protective gloves and a fume hood or
surgical mask.]
