Bacteriostatic Water

What is Bacteriostatic Water?

Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile water solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic agent, packaged in vials by Kalpa Pharmaceuticals. Known as Bacteriostatic Water, it's used in bodybuilding to reconstitute peptides and hormones for injection, and medically for diluting or dissolving medications. It has no active pharmacological substance but ensures a safe injection environment.

What Does Bacteriostatic Water Do?

Bacteriostatic Water serves as a sterile diluent to reconstitute peptides, hormones, or other injectable compounds, allowing for safe administration. The 0.9% benzyl alcohol inhibits bacterial growth, extending the shelf life of reconstituted solutions. It does not alter the active substance but ensures its stability and safety for use over multiple doses.

How to Use Bacteriostatic Water

Bacteriostatic Water is used to reconstitute lyophilized peptides or hormones. Draw the required amount (e.g., 1-2 ml) into a sterile syringe, inject it into the peptide vial, and gently mix until dissolved. Use within 28 days of reconstitution, storing at room temperature or refrigerated. Always use a new sterile needle for injection and discard if contamination is suspected.

Mechanism of Action Bacteriostatic Water

Bacteriostatic Water acts as a neutral carrier, providing a sterile, isotonic environment for dissolving active compounds. The 0.9% benzyl alcohol prevents bacterial proliferation, ensuring the reconstituted solution remains safe for multiple uses. It has no therapeutic effect but supports the integrity and delivery of the active substance. Users benefit from a stable preparation within hours of mixing. What doesn't happen: no direct pharmacological action or significant side effects from the water itself.

How It Works & Key Benefits

Comparisons & Alternatives

Bacteriostatic Water vs Sterile Water: Bacteriostatic Water includes benzyl alcohol for multiple uses; Sterile Water lacks it and is single-use.

Bacteriostatic Water vs Saline: Bacteriostatic Water is for reconstitution; Saline is for dilution with different applications.

Bacteriostatic Water vs Distilled Water: Bacteriostatic Water is sterile and preserved; Distilled Water is not for injection.

Side Effects & Risk Management

• Infection: Contamination risk—use sterile technique, discard if cloudy.
• Reaction: Rare allergy to benzyl alcohol—monitor for rash, stop use if occurs.
• Systemic: Overuse (e.g., excessive benzyl alcohol)—limit to recommended doses.
• Other: No direct effect—ensure proper storage (room temp or refrigerated).

Consult a professional to ensure safe handling and use with injectable compounds.
