Hospira BAC Availability

[keangkong]

Bumping this thread with a question. I searched around but couldn’t find a clear answer. I have a Hospira BAC water vial that I used once about seven weeks ago and have kept refrigerated the entire time. Is it still okay to use it again to reconstitute a vial, or should I open a new Hospira BAC to eliminate any possibility of degradation or contamination?

The official answer is that once a vial of BAC water has been punctured, it should be used with 28 days. After that, it should be discarded. However, that advice is given for hospital settings, where there are often multiple patients and tons of germs around. Most folks who use BAC water for peptides or for injecting anabolic steroids and similar strength-increasing products discard their BAC water 2-3 months after it has been punctured. There is no need to refrigerate the vial after you puncture it; the germicidal properties of the benzoyl alcohol work slightly better when the BAC water is warmer than your refrigerator. After you mix the BAC water with your peptide, you ought to refrigerate the resulting solution in order to best preserve the reconstituted peptide; reconstituted peptides last longer when refrigerated. How long can you keep your reconstituted vial? The official answer is the same as for BAC water -- 28 days. The unofficial answer is also the same as for BAC water -- 60 to 90 days. There are plenty of folks who report having regularly used much longer dates than 60 to 90 days for both BAC water and reconstituted peptides without having had a bad result, but I wouldn't want to push boundaries too far here. Sixty to 90 days already exceeds the official answers. I'm giving you a more complete answer than @nonyabizznez just gave you. That's because I'm verbose and tend to err on the side of providing too much information instead of giving the concise answer. However. I agree: Your BAC water is "fine to use" right now.

I'd be comfortable using it past 2036

I'd also be willing to use my Hospira water past 2036. As a practical matter, although I have over a case of Hospira water right now, it won't be around then. I'll either have used up my BAC water reconstituting peptides within a few years of now or I'll have thrown away the BAC water.

I'm only speaking about unpunctured vials of Hospira BAC water or other forms of true BAC water, the kind that bears a label that says dispensing requires a prescription (regardless of whether you did in fact provide a prescription). As to the Amazon reconstitution that someone bought that says it's good good until January of 2028, that should be thrown away immediately. The only non-Rx BAC water that I'm convinced is any good is that supplied by Peptide Group Buys (PGB).
