Description

Sterile Water for Injection, USP, 250 mL Bag is a pharmaceutical-grade, nonpyrogenic, sterile solution intended for dilution or dissolution of compatible medications for intravenous administration. It contains no antimicrobial agents, buffers, or added substances. It is supplied in an Excel® flexible plastic bag, ensuring a safe, sterile environment for drug preparation and administration.

The mechanism of action of sterile water for injection involves serving as a vehicle for drug delivery, facilitating the preparation of reconstituted or diluted injectable medications. It does not provide any electrolytes or nutrients and should not be administered alone intravenously due to the risk of hemolysis from its hypotonic nature.

Sterile water for injection is widely used in hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies for preparing parenteral medications such as antibiotics, biologics, and chemotherapeutic agents. It is suitable for intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous administration when mixed with compatible drugs.
