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 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?
Hospira recommends that 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.
