Bacteriostatic water is a sterile, non-pyrogenic water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, used primarily to dissolve or dilute medications for multiple parenteral (injection) doses. The added benzyl alcohol prevents microbial growth, allowing a single vial to be reused over 28 days.
Key Aspects of Bacteriostatic Water Purpose:
It serves as a sterile diluent for medications, allowing for repeated withdrawals from a single 3mL vial.
Composition: Contains 0.9% (9 mg/mL) benzyl alcohol and sterile water for injection.Uses: Common applications include diluting drugs for injection and reconstituting peptides or pharmaceuticals.
Storage: Should be kept at room temperature (20/25∘C) with a, generally, 28-day lifespan after the first use.
