  • Publication number: 20230051321
    Abstract: Disclosed are non-aqueous solid and liquid compositions comprising resiniferatoxin and a surfactant. The non-aqueous solid and liquid compositions may be used to prepare aqueous compositions that are used in the treatment of pain, specifically osteoarthritis-related joint pain. Moreover, also disclosed are kits containing the non-aqueous solid and liquid compositions and a diluent and methods of preparing the compositions. The non-aqueous solid and liquid compositions allow for longer storage and recovery of resiniferatoxin compared to resiniferatoxin alone prior to reconstitution with a diluent.
