In brief
Bacteriostatic water is what the federal label record we read on 2026-09-01 describes. We copy it here plainly, with nothing added and nothing softened.
The record marks the principal display panel Rx only and describes a sterile, nonpyrogenic water preserved with benzyl alcohol. See is bacteriostatic water prescription only, why this search splits, and how a row gets filed.
Separately, Peptara Labs keeps a bacteriostatic water page.
This is a transcript. Each line is on the federal label record for bacteriostatic water, Hospira, Inc., read 2026-09-01: the DailyMed label record for bacteriostatic water, Hospira, Inc.. We add nothing, and no line becomes an instruction.

- pH
- 5.7, with a range of 4.5 to 7.0.

Is there more than one label?
Yes. A DailyMed search on 2026-09-01 returned 18 label records. A second bacteriostatic water label is listed for FUJIAN GENOHOPE BIOTECH LTD., setid 54f66b82-c9e5-a2bc-e063-6394a90adbbc.
We print that setid as plain text because we didn't capture a separate record URL. Our linked example everywhere is the Hospira record.

Scope and research use
We report only what a federal label record states and what a seller publishes where you can open it; open-shelf material is lab stock, not an approved medicine, as those storefronts say themselves.
We weigh no one's situation, call nothing safe or effective, describe no procedure, and leave any question about a person to a licensed clinician.
