Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP is chemically designated H2O. Bacteriostatic water is a nonpyrogenic preparation of sterile water for injection containing 0.9% (9 mg/mL) of benzyl alcohol added as the bacteriostatic preservative. It is available in many sizes of multi-dose vials. Repeated withdrawals may be made to dilute or dissolve drugs for injection. The pH of bacteriostatic water is 5.7 (4.5 to 7.0).
Bacteriostatic Water
What is bacteriostatic?
The term “Bacteriostatic” refers to a preservative called (benzyl alcohol) that is added to products to prolong there shelf life.
What is bacteriostatic water?
Bacteriostatic Water is water that has undergone a special process to make it sterile. It also contains approximately 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative.
What is the difference between bacteriostatic water vs. sterile water for injection?
Bacteriostatic water for injection has an extra preservative agent added into the water called benzyl alcohol (BnOH). Benzyl alcohol is a colorless liquid that has low toxicity, and low vapor pressure. Sterile Water for injection is a single-dose sterile water that does not contain any bacteriostatic, antimicrobial agents, and added buffers.
How long does bacteriostatic water last once it is used?
Once a vial of Bacteriostatic water is open the preservatives will prolong its life for up to 28 days. After 28 days the vial needs to be discarded. Other injectables without the bacteriostatic agent (single-dose vials) should be discarded after one single use.
What is the vial material made of?
The semi-rigid vial is fabricated from a specially formulated polyolefin. It is a copolymer of ethylene. The safety of the plastic has been confirmed by tests in animals according to USP biological standards for plastic containers. The container requires no vapor barrier to maintain the proper labeled volume.
Bacteriostatic Water for Injection:
Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP is a sterile, nonpyrogenic preparation of water for injection containing 0.9% (9 mg/mL) of benzyl alcohol added as a bacteriostatic preservative. It is supplied in a multiple-dose container from which repeated withdrawals may be made to dilute or dissolve drugs for injection. The pH is 5.7 (4.5 to 7.0).
Bacteriostatic Water for Injection – Clinical Pharmacology:
Water is an essential constituent of all body tissues and accounts for approximately 70% of total body weight. Average normal adult daily requirement ranges from two to three liters (1.0 to 1.5 liters each for insensible water loss by perspiration and urine production).
Water balance is maintained by various regulatory mechanisms. Water distribution depends primarily on the concentration of electrolytes in the body compartments and sodium (Na+) plays a major role in maintaining physiologic equilibrium.
The small volume of fluid provided by Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP when used only as a pharmaceutic aid for diluting or dissolving drugs for parenteral injection, is unlikely to exert a significant effect on fluid balance except possibly in very small infants.
Indication of Bacteriostatic Water:
This parenteral preparation is indicated only for diluting or dissolving drugs for intravenous, intramuscular or subcutaneous injection
