Bacteriostatic Water
Overview
Bacteriostatic Water for Injection is a sterile, non-pyrogenic preparation of water for injection containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. This solution is designed as a pharmaceutical diluent for dissolving or reconstituting injectable research compounds from a multi-dose vial. The presence of benzyl alcohol inhibits the growth of most potentially contaminating bacteria, ensuring the solution remains sterile for repeated use.
History
The development of multi-dose parenteral formulations necessitated the inclusion of antimicrobial agents to maintain sterility after the initial use. Benzyl alcohol was established as a safe and effective bacteriostatic preservative for this purpose, preventing microbial growth in solutions intended for multiple withdrawals. This led to the widespread adoption of bacteriostatic water as a standard diluent for reconstituting injectable compounds in both clinical and laboratory settings.
