Bacteriostatic water: Reconstitution solution
Is a sterile solution that contains benzyl alcohol, which acts as a bacteriostatic agent. Here are some common uses:
Dilution of Medications: Bacteriostatic water is primarily used a reconstitution solution to dilute or dissolve various medications before injection.
Preparation for Injections: It is commonly used in clinical settings to prepare substances for intramuscular (IM), intravenous (IV), and subcutaneous injections.
Multiple Use: Unlike sterile water, which is typically single-use due to contamination risks, bacteriostatic water can be re-entered multiple times.
Maintaining Sterility: The presence of benzyl alcohol helps prevent bacterial growth in the solution, ensuring that the injected substances remain uncontaminated
