Bacteriostatic Water

Kalpa Pharmaceuticals Bacteriostatic Water

Bacteriostatic water is a sterile, non-pyrogenic water for injection that contains a suitable bacteriostatic agent, typically benzyl alcohol or sodium benzoate. It is used to dilute or reconstitute medications that are susceptible to bacterial growth. The bacteriostatic properties help to prevent the introduction of bacteria into the medication and maintain its sterility once it has been reconstituted, allowing for multiple doses over a specified period while minimizing the risk of infection or contamination. It is commonly used in preparing solutions for injections, especially for those that do not require refrigeration.
