Description
This product is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, solute-free preparation of distilled water specifically designed for use as a sterile solvent or diluent for various medications intended for parenteral administration (intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous injection).
Key Features
Sterile and Nonpyrogenic: It's rigorously prepared to be free of viable microorganisms and fever-inducing substances, ensuring patient safety during administration.
Preservative-Free: Unlike bacteriostatic water, this formulation contains no bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent, or added buffer. This makes it suitable for patients who may be sensitive to preservatives.
Single-Dose Vial: Each 20 mL vial is intended for a single use. Any unused portion should be discarded after admixture with a drug or solution to maintain sterility.
High Purity: Meets the stringent standards of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) for water for injection, indicating its high quality and suitability for medical use.
Flexible Plastic Container: The vials are often made from clear, multilayer polyolefin plastic film, which is durable and designed to maintain product integrity.
Uses
Drug Dilution and Dissolution: Its primary use is to dilute or dissolve various powdered or concentrated medications (drugs or solutions) that require an aqueous vehicle before being administered by injection. This ensures the medication is in a suitable form and concentration for safe and effective delivery.
Parenteral Fluid Replenishment (with additives): When appropriate solutes are added to achieve sufficient osmolarity (e.g., 112 mOsmol or more per liter for intravenous use), it can serve as a source of water for parenteral fluid replenishment. It's crucial that a solute is added to avoid intravascular hemolysis when administered intravenously.
Preparation of Injectable Solutions: Healthcare professionals use it in hospitals, clinics, and other medical settings to prepare a wide range of injectable solutions according to drug manufacturers' instructions.
