Bacteriostatic water for injection
Description
Bacteriostatic Water 30 ml is a sterile, non-pyrogenic water for injection preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol (9 mg/mL). The bacteriostatic preservative allows the vial to be used as a multi-dose container: multiple withdrawals may be made using a sterile needle and syringe, for diluting or dissolving injectable medicines prior to parenteral administration (e.g. intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous).
Bnefits
- Sterile, non-pyrogenic diluent suitable for reconstitution or dilution of injectable medicines.
- Contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol preservative, allowing multiple withdrawals from the same vial under aseptic conditions, reducing waste and cost.
- Enables safe dilution or dissolution of drugs requiring an aqueous vehicle prior to injection (intravenous, intramuscular or subcutaneous).
- Convenient 30 ml vial size for multiple doses or clinical uses.
- Widely used and accepted in clinical, research and aesthetic settings to prepare injectable medications reliably and consistently.
Indications
- Dilution or dissolution of medications that require an aqueous vehicle for injection, where the drug’s prescribing information permits bacteriostatic water for reconstitution.
Composition
- Water for injection (sterile, non-pyrogenic).
- Benzyl alcohol 0.9% (9 mg/mL) as a bacteriostatic preservative.
Formulation
- Pharmaceutical form: Sterile aqueous solution for injection (bacteriostatic water).
- Contained in a multi-dose vial (30 ml) suitable for multiple withdrawals under aseptic conditions.
Packaging
- 30 ml multi-dose vial, sealed for sterile injection diluent use.
Usage
- For use as a diluent only — draw the required volume with a sterile syringe and needle under aseptic technique, then add to the medicinal product requiring reconstitution, following that product’s instructions.
- Do not inject Bacteriostatic Water alone intravenously (unless made isotonic with solute), because it is not isotonic and may cause hemolysis.
- Do not use in neonates or infants due to potential toxicity of benzyl alcohol.
- Use only for parenteral routes as specified (IV, IM or SC) and only after reconstitution of another medicine — it has no therapeutic activity by itself.
- Inspect reconstituted solution for clarity and absence of particulates before administration.
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to benzyl alcohol or any component of the solution.
- Use in neonates, due to risk of benzyl alcohol toxicity (e.g. “gasping syndrome”).
- Parenteral use for fluid replacement — Bacteriostatic Water is not intended for use as a replacement fluid without solute.
Adverse Effects
- Potential for hypersensitivity reactions due to benzyl alcohol (e.g. rash, allergic reactions).
- If injected intravenously without appropriate dilution/solute, risk of haemolysis.
- Possible local reactions, infection or inflammation at injection site, depending on the reconstituted drug and handling.
Storage Conditions
- Store at controlled room temperature as specified on label (e.g. 20–25 °C).
- Keep vial closed and protect from contamination; use sterile technique for each withdrawal.
- Discard vial or any remaining solution if sterility is compromised or after recommended in-use period as per local protocols.
