Bacteriostatic water is a sterile solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which acts as a preservative. It's used primarily in medical settings to:



1. Reconstitute or dilute medications

2. Flush intravenous lines

3. Prepare injectable solutions



Key features:



1. Sterile: Free from living microorganisms

2. Inhibits bacterial growth: Doesn't kill bacteria but prevents their multiplication

3. Longer shelf life: Can be used for multiple doses over time

4. Not for long-term storage: Typically used within 28 days of opening



Bacteriostatic water differs from standard sterile water in that it contains the preservative, allowing for multiple uses from a single vial. However, it's not suitable for all medications or patients, particularly neonates or those with benzyl alcohol sensitivities.
