Description
Bacteriostatic water is a water-based substance, which is made up of largely sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol. This substance is primarily used for the dissolution or dilution of medicines. The reason as to why it is referred to as bacteriostatic water is because the benzyl alcohol prevents bacteria growth, and allows a vial to be re-entered several times. Bacteriostatic Water (BAC) plays a crucial role in the transmission of medicines intravenously, and even intramuscularly.
