Single Vial Storage & Handling
Hospira Bacteriostatic Water is supplied as a diluent for research and preparation use. It is not a ready-to-administer medicine. Compatibility, preparation and use depend on the product it is being used with, so always follow the manufacturer’s product information and the direction of a qualified healthcare professional.
- Store the factory-sealed vial at 20–25°C, protected from direct light.
- Keep it in its original packaging until required
- Do not freeze, as freezing can affect the preservative distribution
- Once opened, follow the manufacturer’s storage and handling instructions.
- Before each withdrawal, clean the rubber stopper with an appropriate alcohol swab and use a sterile needle and syringe.
Inspect the vial and its contents before every use. Do not use the product if the vial is damaged or the solution appears cloudy, discoloured or contains visible particles, regardless of the date printed on the label.
The in-use period begins when the vial’s stopper is first punctured, typically 28 days. This period is separate from the printed expiry date, so the applicable in-use limit or labelled expiry, whichever comes first, determines when the vial should no longer be used.
Important: Always refer to the manufacturer’s current product information for specific storage, handling and in-use requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is bacteriostatic water used for?
Bacteriostatic water is supplied as a diluent for research and preparation use with compatible substances that require a sterile aqueous solvent. It is not a ready-to-administer medicine. Always refer to the relevant product information and follow the direction of a qualified healthcare professional.
What does “bacteriostatic” mean?
“Bacteriostatic” refers to the 0.9% benzyl alcohol preservative contained in the solution. The preservative helps inhibit the growth of common bacteria, allowing a sealed multi-dose vial to be accessed more than once when handled according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
What is the difference between bacteriostatic water and sterile water for injection?
Both products are sterile, but their composition and intended use differ. Bacteriostatic water contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol and is supplied in a multi-dose vial, while sterile water for injection contains no preservative and is labelled for single withdrawal. The product being prepared determines which type is appropriate.
How long can bacteriostatic water be used after opening?
A defined in-use period begins when the vial stopper is first punctured and is separate from the printed expiry date. This is typically 28 days. Follow the manufacturer’s product information for the applicable in-use period. Discard the vial if the solution becomes cloudy, discoloured or contains visible particles.
Can I freeze bacteriostatic water?
No. Do not freeze bacteriostatic water. Store the sealed vial according to the manufacturer’s labelled storage requirements and protect it from direct light.
Is Aussie BacWater’s Hospira Bacteriostatic Water genuine?
Aussie BacWater supplies genuine Hospira-labelled product as manufactured. Products are not decanted, relabelled or repackaged before dispatch, so the vial you receive retains its original manufacturer labelling.
