The research

What Bacteriostatic Water is being studied for

This preparation of sterile water and benzyl alcohol (BnOH) allows repeated withdrawals to be made from a single 30mL plastic vial. Hospira, the world’s leading manufacturer and supplier of bacteriostatic and sterile water, advises that once a vial of bacteriostatic water is open, the preservatives will prolong its life for up to 28 days.

After this period, the vial should be discarded. The difference between bacteriostatic water and sterile water is that other sterile waters for injection do not contain a bacteriostatic agent. Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, sterile water that contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol (9mg/mL) added as a bacteriostatic preservative.

Bacteriostatic Water can be used multiple times up to 28 days once opened. Pfizer recommends that after this time you must discard the vial.This preparation of sterile water and benzyl alcohol (BnOH) allows repeated withdrawals to be made from a single 30mL vial.
