Bacteriostatic Water

Bacteriostatic Water — Sterile Diluent | Australia

Bacteriostatic water is a sterile, non-pyrogenic preparation of water that contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. Its unique formulation inhibits bacterial growth, allowing the multi-dose vial to remain sterile and safe for multiple needle punctures over a 28-day period after opening.

What It’s Used For

Reconstitution & Dilution: It is primarily used as a diluent to dissolve or dilute powdered medications and compounds before they are injected into the body (intramuscularly, intravenously, or subcutaneously).

Laboratory Research: Widely used in controlled laboratory and research environments for diluting or reconstituting lyophilized (freeze-dried) compounds.

Bacteriostatic Water vs. Sterile Water

Sterile Water for Injection: Contains no additives or preservatives. Once a sterile water vial is punctured, it is considered a single-dose container and must be discarded immediately to prevent contamination.
Bacteriostatic Water: The added benzyl alcohol safely prevents bacterial reproduction. This makes it ideal for multi-dose vials where small amounts are withdrawn over several weeks.

Safety & Availability

Benzyl Alcohol Caution: Bacteriostatic water must never be used in newborns or infants, as the benzyl alcohol preservative can cause fatal toxicity (Gasping Syndrome).
Acquiring the Product: Depending on your jurisdiction, medical-grade bacteriostatic water requires a prescription. It is also widely sold online for laboratory research purposes. For inquiries about approved medical use or prescribed treatments, always consult a licensed healthcare professional or pharmacist
