Pharmaceutical compositions that stabilize a Clostridial toxin active ingredient are described. The compositions can be liquid or solid compositions, and comprise a surfactant and an antioxidant. In some embodiments, the compositions comprise a surfactant selected from a poloxamer and a polysorbate; an antioxidant selected from methionine, N-acetyl cysteine, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and combinations thereof, and, optionally, a tonicity agent and/or a lyoprotector selected from, for example, trehalose, sucrose.
1. A lyophilized pharmaceutical composition comprising a Clostridial toxin active ingredient, 8 w/w % trehalose, 4 w/w % poloxamer 188 and 0.2 w/w % methionine.
2. The lyophilized pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the Clostridial toxin active ingredient is a botulinum toxin.
