Use of Phenol for Chemonervation

The pharmacy prepares 5% phenol for OR to use in conjunction with Botox (type A) for neurolysis once weekly. The problem is the stability and sporadic use. I wanted to know if anyone else is doing this procedure using a different product or have recommendations about obtaining phenol with extended stability beyond 7 days please share. Also if your institution has had good success with something else, I'd love for you to share.
This is a children's hospital.

Thanks.
