Bacteriostatic water for injection contains 0.9% of benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. Benzyl alcohol suppresses or stops the growth of most potentially contaminating bacteria.
Benzyl alcohol, is safe to us and is naturally made by many plants and is commonly found in fruits, teas and essential oils like jasmine. This bacteriostatic water has a pH level is 5.7 (4.5 to 7.0) and is safely packaged in a fabricated semi-rigid vial specially formulated with copolymer of ethylene and propylene. The safety of the plastic has been confirmed by tests in animals according to USP biological standards for plastic containers. The container requires no vapor barrier to maintain the proper label volume. This product is not to be used in neonates.
Swab top of rubber injection site with antiseptic wipe containing 70% isopropyl alcohol or higher to reduce any existing bacteria growth. Wait until alcohol is dry before continuing.
