Hospira BAC Availability

[zpped]

I'm leaning towards no on this, but thought I'd ask you all what your thoughts are. I can get unlimited 20ml Hospira Sterile Water for free. Is it worth it to add in my own benzyl alcohol to make my own bac water?

This is, in my opinion, the second best thing to hospira bac.

Not a bad idea if done right.

Same here I can get the same 20ml hospira sterile water for free at work, maybe I will give your idea a try.

I thought they used to send for free a couple of years ago.

Could be. I just jumped on the GLP-1 bandwagon 12 months ago. PGB still provides free BAC water.

If I had unlimited access to free Hospira sterile water, I'd skip trying to add BAC to it and instead use sterile water. I would here add a large number of quotations from Janoshik about the virtues of sterile water, but I think I'm prohibited from doing so here due to the rules of Peppys, the location that published Lab FAQ Guide with Janoshik Analytical, https://chat.peppys.org/t/lab-faq-guide-with-janoshik-analytical/4136.

In Europe I think that's all they use for injections is sterile water, correct me if I am wrong.
And at the Hospital that I work sterile or sodium chloride are the most common ways of reconstitution.

There are currently tests being done on a handful of the popular Amazon bac waters, but the results may not be released publicly for a little while. Let's just say I am very glad I have several vials of Hospira BAC that expired in 2023 and 2024 that I will continue using until empty.

Is it okay to use expired? As long as they aren't open?

Is it ok for you? That's a question only you can answer.

Me, I have no issue using expired bac mainly because it's ingredients don't expire. Ever. We would all be dead if they did. Plus they are sealed in a sterile container/environment so until that first puncture there is no reason it wouldn't be as safe as the day it was bottled.

OK cool. I found some that are going to expire in 2026 but I wouldn't go through them that quick. Glad to hear others are using them that long.

How long once it's punctured? I know it says 28 days but I've seen other go longer.

If I was working in healthcare, then while fulfilling my duties I would use the BAC water only if I was acting according to the instructions on the label. Since I don't work in healthcare, I'll exercise my own judgment. Pfizer/Hospira BAC water is approved to be given intravenously, a much risker thing than a subcutaneous injection, and may be given to people with weak immune systems. Because neither benzoyl alcohol nor water are likely to go bad when stored in a vial that has been sealed with the contents inside by the factory, I have every intention of continuing to use my case of Hospira vials ater after their expiration date passes.
