Sterile Water for Injection is purified, sterile, nonpyrogenic water used as a vehicle for injectable medicines. It has no pharmacological action by itself; it enables safe reconstitution/dilution for injection when mixed with compatible drugs.

Use only for reconstitution/dilution of injectable medicines as per the drug’s label and healthcare professional instructions. Inspect for clarity and container integrity before use; do not use if cloudy/particles/leaking. Not for direct IV injection unless the final solution is made isotonic with an appropriate solute/drug as directed; use aseptic technique and discard any unused portion if single-use.

Injection site irritation, pain, redness, swelling, fever (if contaminated), hemolysis (if injected without making isotonic), fluid overload/electrolyte imbalance (if misused)

For parenteral use only as a diluent/vehicle; not a medicine on its own. Do not inject Sterile Water for Injection directly IV as it is hypotonic and may cause hemolysis—must be mixed with compatible medication/solute to make an appropriate solution. Use aseptic technique to prevent infection/pyrogen reactions. Do not use if container is damaged or solution is not clear. Single-dose containers should not be stored after opening; discard unused portion.

No direct drug interactions; compatibility depends on the reconstituted/diluted medicine. Check drug-specific compatibility, concentration limits, and diluent requirements before mixing.
