Frequently Asked

The questions we get most.

What is Bacteriostatic Water for Injection?

The 30 mL presentation we stock is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. It is labelled as a diluent or solvent for compatible drugs that require preparation before injection.

Is BAC water the same as bacteriostatic water?

Yes. BAC water is simply the common abbreviation for bacteriostatic water — the two terms refer to the same product. You may also see it written as bacteriostatic water for injection, BWFI, or bac water. All describe sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative, supplied as a multi-dose diluent.

Is the water injected by itself?

No. It is not a ready-to-administer medicine. The manufacturer product information warns that intravenous administration without a solute may cause haemolysis. Product selection and use must follow the vial label, manufacturer product information and qualified healthcare-professional direction.
