Uses

  1. Diluting or Dissolving Medications

    • Used for mixing powdered medications (like certain antibiotics or hormones) before injection.
    • Used for diluting concentrated injectable drugs to the recommended strength.

  2. Multi-Dose Vials

    • Allows for multiple doses to be drawn from the same vial without contamination when proper sterile technique is used.

Frequently Asked Questions, about Bacteriostatic Water
  • What is Bacteriostatic Water?

    Bacteriostatic water is sterile water that contains a very small amount (0.9%) of benzyl alcohol, which acts as a preservative. This inhibits the growth of bacteria in the water for up to 28 days after first use.

  • What Does Bacteriostatic Mean?

    “Bacteriostatic” means that it prevents (stops) the growth and reproduction of bacteria without necessarily killing them outright.

  • What is Bacteriostatic Water Used For?

    Bacteriostatic water is mainly used to dilute or dissolve medications for injection, including peptides, hormones, and some antibiotics. It is especially common for drugs that require multiple doses drawn from the same vial.

  • Can You Buy Bacteriostatic Water Over the Counter?

    In many countries (including the US), bacteriostatic water is regulated, and you may need a prescription at most pharmacies. Some online medical supply stores sell it, but regulations and availability vary by region.

  • Is Sterile Water the Same as Bacteriostatic Water?

    No. Sterile water is simply water that has been sterilized and contains no preservatives. Bacteriostatic water is sterile water with a bacteriostatic agent (usually benzyl alcohol) added to prevent bacterial growth after the vial is opened.

  • Do You Have to Mix Semaglutide with Bacteriostatic Water?

    Yes, if you receive lyophilized (powder) semaglutide that needs to be reconstituted, bacteriostatic water is preferred because it reduces risk of bacterial contamination with multiple uses.

  • Do I Need to Refrigerate Bacteriostatic Water?

    Check the manufacturer's label, but generally, unopened bacteriostatic water does not require refrigeration. After opening, it should be kept at room temperature and used within 28 days.

  • Is There an Alternative to Bacteriostatic Water?

    Alternatives include sterile water for injection (single-use, no preservative) or normal saline for injection (sterile saltwater solution). However, without a preservative, these must be used all at once.

  • Can I Use Bacteriostatic Water to Reconstitute Botox?

    Botox is usually reconstituted with sterile, preservative-free saline (0.9% sodium chloride), as recommended by the manufacturer. Using bacteriostatic water is not recommended for Botox, due to potential effects on the drug or patient.

  • What is Injectable Water Called?

    Injectable water is usually called “sterile water for injection” or “bacteriostatic water for injection,” depending on whether or not a preservative is included.

  • How Many Times Can I Use Bacteriostatic Water?

    You can withdraw doses from the same vial multiple (as many as needed) times within 28 days after first use, provided you use proper aseptic technique.

  • Do Hospitals Use Bacteriostatic Water?

    Hospitals may use bacteriostatic water for medications that require dilution and may be accessed multiple times, but its use is less common for large-volume/adult infusions because of the benzyl alcohol content.

  • What Are the Side Effects of Bacteriostatic Water?

    Potential side effects (usually related to the benzyl alcohol preservative) include: Allergic reactions (rare) Local irritation at injection site In neonates or very small infants, benzyl alcohol can cause toxicity (“gasping syndrome”) and should NOT be used.

  • Can You Use Bacteriostatic Water for HGH?

    Yes, bacteriostatic water is commonly used to reconstitute human growth hormone (HGH), as it allows for multiple doses to be withdrawn safely over time.

  • Is Reconstitution Water the Same as Bacteriostatic Water?

    “Reconstitution water” is a general term for any water used to dissolve injectable drugs. It can be sterile water (no preservative, single use) or bacteriostatic water (with preservative, multi-dose), so not all reconstitution water is bacteriostatic.
