Bacteriostatic water is primarily used to dilute or dissolve medications that are intended to be injected. Here's a breakdown of its key uses:
- Diluting powdered medications: Some medications come in powdered form and need to be mixed with a liquid before they can be injected. Bacteriostatic water serves as that liquid.
- Creating multiple doses: Bacteriostatic water contains a preservative (usually 0.9% benzyl alcohol) that inhibits bacterial growth. This allows for repeated withdrawals from the same vial, making it suitable for medications that require multiple doses over time.
