| dailymed-instance:dosage |
Following suitable
admixture of prescribed additives, the dosage is usually dependent upon
the age, weight and clinical condition of the patient as well as
laboratory determinations. See directions accompanying additive drug. Parenteral drug
products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and
discoloration prior to administration whenever solution and container
permit. Injections in
VIAFLEX plastic containers are intended for intravenous administration using sterile equipment. Additives may be
incompatible. Complete information is not available. Those additives
known to be incompatible should not be used. Consult with pharmacist, if
available. If, in the informed judgment of the physician, it is deemed
advisable to introduce additives, use aseptic technique. Do not store an unused portion of Sterile Water for
Injection, USP. Mix thoroughly when additives have been introduced. Do not store solutions containing additives.

| dailymed-instance:descripti... |
Sterile Water for
Injection, USP, is sterile, nonpyrogenic, distilled water in a single
dose container for intravenous administration after addition of a
suitable solute. It may also be used as a dispensing container for
diluent use. No antimicrobial or other substance has been added. The pH
is 5.5 (5.0 to 7.0). The osmolarity is 0. The VIAFLEX plastic
container is fabricated from a specially formulated polyvinyl chloride
(PL 146 Plastic). The amount of water that can permeate from inside the
container into the overwrap is insufficient to affect the solution
significantly. Solutions in contact with the plastic container may leach
out certain chemical components from the plastic in very small amounts;
however, biological testing was supportive of the safety of the plastic
container materials.
