Description
Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile, non-pyrogenic preparation of water that contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. It is primarily used to dilute or dissolve medications for injection, including peptides, hormones, and other reconstitutable drugs. The benzyl alcohol component acts as a bacteriostatic agent, meaning it inhibits the growth of bacteria, allowing the solution to be used multiple times from the same vial when handled properly. Bacteriostatic Water is not intended for use in newborns due to the potential toxicity of benzyl alcohol in neonates. It is commonly supplied in 10 mL or 30 mL vials for clinical and research use. This product must be used under sterile conditions and stored at appropriate temperatures to maintain its efficacy and sterility. Always consult a healthcare professional before use, especially when used for injection or medical therapy.
