Bacteriostatic Water for Injection is a sterile, non-pyrogenic water formulated with 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. It is commonly used to reconstitute or dilute compatible medications intended for injection, in accordance with the medication manufacturer’s instructions.

The addition of benzyl alcohol helps inhibit bacterial growth, allowing multiple withdrawals from the vial when handled using proper aseptic technique and when consistent with the product labeling. Bacteriostatic Water should only be used with medications that specifically indicate it as an appropriate diluent.
