Description

Bacteriostatic water 0.9%, 20 ml, #1

Bacteriostatic water contains 0.9% (9 mg / ml) benzyl alcohol, which is added as a bacteriostatic preservative.

Bacteriostatic water is the best solvent for dry medications. Various medications in powder form should be diluted. It can be either ordinary water for injections, or lidocaine, novocaine, and so on. However, bactericidal water is best suited for this.

When filling the syringe with solvent, the needle is in direct contact with the surface of the vial. This can cause some bacteria to enter the needle. Bactericidal water for injections is different from regular water. Sterile water guarantees to negate the risk of microbes entering the syringe.

However, if microbes do get into the medication, they can start to multiply due to the humid environment, which seems to be favorable for them. For this reason, the use of other solvents makes it inevitable to use the medication only once, immediately after dilution.

Benefits of Bacteriostatic Water

• Contains benzyl alcohol for sterilization
• Promotes better absorption of medication
• Increases the duration of the medication
• Requires refrigerated storage (2 to 8°C)

Safety of Bacteriostatic Water

Bactericidal water is often used to dilute peptides, chondrotropic hormones, gonadotropin, and more. It is safe for use in sports and medicine. Specialized stores can help with obtaining it.

Only if another solvent is specified in the medication description should bactericidal water not be used. Otherwise, it is harmless, and it’s often used to wash wounds.
