The present invention is directed to a dry suspension for reconstitution containing Tecovirimat (ST-246) powder and simethicone. The dry suspension is dispersed in water to provide an aqueous pharmaceutical suspension formulation for oral administration for treating orthopoxvirus infections and/or eczema vaccinatum. The suspension formulation exhibits excellent stability and good dissolution and has an improved taste and texture.

ST-246 (tecovirimat monohydrate) suspension formulations

Disclosed are methods for hydration of ST-246 particles comprising exposing said particles to moisture by conveying volumes of air containing moisture.
