Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP is a sterile, nonpyrogenic preparation of water for injection containing 0.9% (9 mg/mL) of benzyl alcohol added as a bacteriostatic preservative. It is supplied in a multiple-dose container from which repeated withdrawals may be made to dilute or dissolve drugs for injection. The pH is 5.7 (4.5 to 7.0).
Water for Injection, USP is chemically designated H2O.
Store both products at 20 to 25°C (68 to 77°F)
They can both be used for Intramuscular injection, Intravenous injection and subcutaneous injection. I hope this helps. Here is a website which will give you more information. I hope this helps once again! Good question!
