Hospira Bac Water vs Generic Bac Water
"Bac water" is short for bacteriostatic water. Hospira bac water is one specific product: Hospira's FDA-approved Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP, with its own NDC number. Many products sold online as "bac water" are labeled for research or laboratory use, carry no NDC, and don't always name who made them.
| Hospira Bacteriostatic Water | Generic / research-labeled bac water | |
|---|---|---|
| Maker | Hospira, Inc. (Pfizer), named on the label | Varies; often not stated |
| FDA status | Approved drug product (NDA 018802) | Often "for research use only" |
| NDC number | 0409-3977-01 | Usually none |
| Standard | USP, sterile, nonpyrogenic | Varies by seller |
| Preservative | 0.9% benzyl alcohol, stated on label | Varies; check the label |
| Characteristics | Sterile, nonpyrogenic | Varies by seller |
How to Verify Genuine Hospira Bac Water
It takes about a minute to check a vial. Every Hospira 30 mL vial has:
- "Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP" on the label
- Hospira, Inc. named as the distributor
- NDC 0409-3977-01 on the vial (tray NDC 0409-3977-03)
- A 30 mL multiple-dose plastic fliptop vial
- Benzyl alcohol 0.9% (9 mg/mL) on the label
- Sterile, nonpyrogenic
- Label warning: not for use in neonates
If anything doesn't match, don't use it.
How to check a vialBacteriostatic Water vs Sterile Water for Injection
The difference is the preservative. Hospira bacteriostatic water contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol, so a multiple-dose vial can be entered more than once. Sterile water for injection has no preservative and comes in single-dose containers.
| Feature | Hospira Bacteriostatic Water | Sterile Water for Injection |
|---|---|---|
| Water for Injection base | Yes | Yes |
| Sterile | Yes | Yes |
| Nonpyrogenic | Yes | Yes |
| Bacteriostatic preservative | Yes | No |
| Benzyl alcohol | 0.9% in the Hospira 30 mL vial | None |
| Container use | Multiple-dose | Single-dose |
| Neonates | Not for use (label warning) | Preservative-free |
The important difference is the preservative.
