Caution

Photosensitive

Reconstitution

A 10 mM solution of (+)-pentazocine is prepared by warming 28.5 mg of (+)-pentazocine free base in 2 mL of 0.1N HCl with shaking or sonication. When all solids have dissolved, the solution is cooled to room temperature and diluted with 10 mL of pH 7 buffer. Solutions should be freshly prepared, since cooling below room temperature may result in precipitation.
