Bacteriostatic Water – 5mL – 10 Vials

Product Overview

Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile aqueous solution containing a bacteriostatic preservative, commonly benzyl alcohol. It is used in specific clinical settings as a diluent for certain medications when permitted by the medication’s approved instructions.

The preservative helps inhibit bacterial growth after the vial has been accessed. However, it does not replace proper aseptic handling, and the product is not suitable for every medication or application.
