It is used almost exclusively in medicine as a diluent or solvent for preparing injectable medications, particularly those supplied in multi-dose vials.

How Bacteriostatic Water is Used

The primary function of bacteriostatic water is to safely prepare medications for injection (parenteral use) that require multiple withdrawals from the same vial over a period of time.

• Diluting/Reconstituting Injectable Drugs: Many medications, especially those that come in a freeze-dried powder (lyophilized) or concentrated liquid form, must be mixed with a sterile liquid before they can be administered via injection. Bacteriostatic water is added to dissolve or dilute the drug to its proper, safe concentration.
• Supporting Multi-Dose Vials: Because it contains the bacteriostatic agent, it allows for repeated withdrawals from the same vial (multi-dose container) without the solution becoming contaminated with bacteria. Once opened, vials reconstituted with bacteriostatic water are typically safe to use for up to 28 days (or as specified by the drug manufacturer). This provides convenience and reduces waste for patients who need regular injections at home (e.g., certain hormone therapies or vitamin injections).Injection Routes: The resulting solution (drug mixed with bacteriostatic water) can then be administered via:
  • Intravenous (IV)
  • Intramuscular (IM)
  • Subcutaneous (SC)

Important Considerations

• NOT a Drug Alone: Bacteriostatic water is a solvent or diluent, not a medication itself. It should never be injected directly into the body without being mixed with a drug. Injecting it alone (as it is not isotonic) can cause the breakdown of red blood cells (hemolysis).
• Not for Neonates: Due to the potential toxicity of the preservative benzyl alcohol, bacteriostatic water should not be used for preparing medications for newborns (neonates). Only preservative-free sterile water for injection is recommended for this age group.
• Sterile Water Difference: Sterile water for injection does not contain a preservative, so it is generally intended for single-use only to prevent microbial contamination after the vial is punctured. Bacteriostatic water, with its preservative, is the option that enables multiple uses.

Indications

HCG is primarily used for treatment of infertile women by causing ovulation, but may also be indicated in treatment of other conditions such as Cryptorchidism, Hypogonadism, Ovulation Indication, Oligospermia, Prepubertal Cryptorchidism.

In bodybuilding it is used pct for restoration of the testes to full and healthy function. Recommend inject 500iu to 1000iu eod 1 week after the cycle ends. Use is conjunction with tamoxifen citrate and clomiphene pills for complete pct treatment

Presentation

Each carton contains 1 vials of 5000iu/vial + 1 x 1ml solvent.

It is utilized among bodybuilders and athletes at the end of an anabolic-androgenic steroid cycle to prevent the breakdown of muscle tissue. It is also important in restoring the testes to the normal abilities. Many times after a period of anabolic steroids usage the testes of an athlete may shrink. Fertigyn is effective in returning them to normal size. It is also useful during a low calorie diet to help burn off that extra layer of fat over the muscles. For this purpose it is also very useful for female athletes.

The average dosage of hcg 5000 IU during a cycle is between 500 IU to 1000 IU every week. If the injection is taken more frequently the blood level of the athlete are more stable while taking it in one shot may increase the estrogen levels caused by the aromatization of normal Testosterone and result in gynecomastia. In post cycle therapy Fertigyn should be used in smaller doses, about 250 – 500 IU every day for 2 or 3 weeks. Smaller doses are enough to begin reversal process of testicular atrophy. When starting a cycle of HCG, bodybuilders must follow it for 2 to 3 week range with a least one month off in between and follow this course with no concern. It is also recommended to start and HCG cycle near the end of a normal steroids cycle, most effective in the last week. Fertigyn can be used with clomid or nolvadex in the PCT and continue using them after HCG is no longer part of the cycle.

The most common side effects of hcg are: Headache, feeling restless or irritable, mild swelling or water weight gain, depression, breast tenderness or swelling; or pain, swelling, or irritation where the injection is given. A series of more serious side effects are: severe pelvic pain, swelling of the hands or legs, stomach pain and swelling, shortness of breath, weight gain, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting. In case if these effects persist it would be useful to address a physician.
