INDICES> rifampin oral suspension

["Randy Trinkle" <rtrinkle@rosencrantz.citytel.net>]

We are currently caring for a palliative care patient
with scleroderma.  She can't take oral solid meds, and
today she began (among other things) rifampin.

I prepared a standard suspension of 10 mg/mL which
works out to 60 mL per dose.  I'd like to be able
to make a more concentrated prep.

Does anyone have a recipe (with refs, if possible)
for something more concentrated? And length of
stability?

Thanks.
