INDICES> fluconazole suspension
-------------------------------------

Greetings from Cape Town,

Does anyone have a formula to prepare fluconazole suspension using
the capsules/tablets? I know Pfizer has a ready-made syrup, but this
patient cannot afford the price.

Many Thanks

[Fluconazole syrup and tablets are donated free by Pfizer in the SA
public health system... The capsules are the ones you have to buy. The
patent for fluconazole expires 6 June 2002; after that generics will
enter the market.  WB]
