Description

Bacteriostatic Water for Injection (BAC Water)

Description

• Sterile water for injection containing a small amount of bacteriostatic preservative (commonly 0.9% benzyl alcohol) to inhibit microbial growth in multi-dose use.
• Used to dilute or dissolve medications for parenteral administration and to reconstitute powdered drugs safely for multiple withdrawals.

Key benefits

• Allows repeated withdrawals from a single vial when aseptic technique is used (reduces contamination risk versus plain sterile water).
• Provides a stable, preservative-containing diluent for preparing injectable medications.
• Convenient for clinic, research, or compounding settings where multiple doses are needed from one vial.

Primary uses

• Reconstituting or diluting sterile powders for injection (subcutaneous, intramuscular, or intravenous as directed by medication labeling).
• Preparing multi-dose syringes or aliquots when permitted by product instructions and regulatory guidance.
• Short-term storage of reconstituted medications between aseptic uses (per manufacturer/medication guidance).

Who it’s for

• Healthcare professionals, pharmacists, and trained individuals preparing injectable medications.
• Clinics, research labs, compounding pharmacies, and practices that require safe multi-use vials.

Suggested use

• Use only as directed by medication manufacturer, pharmacy compounding protocols, or a qualified healthcare provider.
• Maintain strict aseptic technique when accessing the vial; label with date/time of first use per local policy.
• Do not use for neonates or infants unless specifically recommended by a clinician (benzyl alcohol can cause serious adverse effects in newborns).
• Discard per product label or institutional guidelines after the indicated time or number of accesses.

Safety and storage

• Contains benzyl alcohol preservative — avoid use in neonates and check compatibility with the medication being reconstituted.
• Not a substitute for sterile technique; contamination can still occur if mishandled.
• Store sealed vial at room temperature away from excessive heat and light; follow manufacturer expiration and disposal instructions.
• If pregnant, breastfeeding, or treating vulnerable populations, consult a healthcare professional before use.

Quick facts

• Distinct from Sterile Water for Injection (no preservative) and Normal Saline (0.9% sodium chloride); check compatibility before mixing.
• Common vial sizes: 1 mL–50 mL; concentration and preservative content vary—read the label.
• Intended for parenteral use only; not for oral or topical administration.
