Description
Key Features
Sterile Water for Injection, USP: Meets the strict standards of the United States Pharmacopeia for sterile water intended for injection.
Preservative-Free: Contains no bacteriostats, antimicrobial agents, or added buffers, making it suitable for patients sensitive to these additives.
Single-Dose Vial (10 mL): Provided in a convenient 10 mL volume in a plastic flip-top vial, designed for single-use to maintain sterility and prevent contamination.
Nonpyrogenic: Free from pyrogens, which are fever-inducing substances that can cause adverse reactions if injected.
Latex-Free: Not made with natural rubber latex, reducing the risk of allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Diluent Only: This preparation is solely for diluting or dissolving other drugs; it is not for direct intravenous administration as a standalone solution without a solute.
Key Uses
The Pfizer 00409488710 (Sterile Water for Injection, USP) is primarily used in healthcare settings for:
Reconstituting Lyophilized (Powdered) Medications: Many injectable drugs are supplied as powders that need to be dissolved in a liquid (diluent) before administration. Sterile Water for Injection is a common choice for this purpose.
Diluting Concentrated Injectable Medications: Some liquid medications are highly concentrated and need to be diluted to a specific strength before being injected to ensure accurate dosing and patient safety.
Preparing Intravenous (IV), Intramuscular (IM), and Subcutaneous (SC) Injections: It serves as the vehicle for a wide range of parenteral medications administered through these routes.
Ensuring Isotonicity: When preparing solutions for injection, especially for intravenous use, it's crucial to add sufficient solute to the sterile water to make the final solution approximately isotonic with human blood. This prevents cellular damage (like hemolysis) and discomfort.
Compounding Medications: Used in pharmacies and other medical facilities for sterile compounding of various injectable drugs according to specific formulas.
