Bacteriostatic water for injection refers to sterile water that contains a suitable concentration of preservative to inhibit the growth of micro-organisms inoculated during its preparation or intended use. Bacteriostatic water is used in the reconstitution of powdered medications and other preparations to eliminate the risk of microbial contamination during injection or infusion. It is used in hospitals and clinics for reconstituting medications such as antibiotics, antifungal drugs and other injectable drugs. Growing prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases worldwide along with rising healthcare expenditures can boost demand for bacteriostatic water for injection over the forecast period.
