Medicine information: Water for Injection
Indications
Sterile, pyrogen-free water used as a solvent (diluent) to dissolve or dilute powder injections (e.g. ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, meropenem) before administration.
Dosage & administration
- Use only the volume stated in the leaflet of the medicine being reconstituted.
- For single use only; discard any remaining water after opening.
- Must not be injected on its own into a vein in large volumes (it is hypotonic and can destroy red blood cells).
- Use aseptic technique; given only by trained health workers.
Contraindications
- Direct intravenous injection of plain water in large volumes (haemolysis)
- Use as a diluent for a medicine that requires a different solvent
Side effects
None from the water itself when used correctly. Incorrect large-volume IV use can cause haemolysis (breakdown of red cells), fever and kidney injury. Injection-site reactions relate to the medicine being given.
Precautions & warnings
- Check the ampoule/vial is intact, clear and in date.
- Do not use if cloudy or contains particles.
- Discard unused portion.
Pregnancy & breastfeeding
No restriction for the water itself; follow advice for the medicine being prepared.
Interactions
Check compatibility of the medicine being reconstituted (some need sodium chloride or a special solvent instead).
Overdose
Not applicable when used as a diluent. Large IV volumes may cause haemolysis and low sodium — needs urgent medical care.
Storage
Store below 30°C. Do not freeze.
