Hospira BAC water availability

[keangkong]

On the bottom of page 11 of the Prescribing Information for Zepbound, the “preservative-free” part is somewhat misleading because it is specifically referring to the active ingredient tirzepatide. “Each single-dose pen or single-dose vial contains preservative-free 0.5 mL solution of 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, or 15 mg of tirzepatide and
the following excipients: sodium chloride (4.1 mg), sodium phosphate dibasic heptahydrate (0.7 mg), and water for injection.” If you notice the part about excipients (substances used to preserve, stabilize, and/or enhance drugs) those are what I was referring to as preservatives.

As a nurse I wouldn't want to add more volume if avoidable but it isn't necessary to add bacteriostatic water as a preservative for Zepbound. When stored in the refrigerator (2-8C/35.6-46.4F) it is good for 24 months from date of manufacture.

Got it. That makes a great deal of sense. I’m glad I made my “correction” because I learned how I misread something. Now I don’t have to buy the Hospira bacteriostatic water.

Datapoint for Medex: ordered a case on the 15th but it hasn't shipped yet with no emails from them. I also ordered a few from Peptide Shop on the 14th and it's due to be delivered tomorrow.

Datapoint: Medex order delivered today. Exp is also Jan 31 2026... ordered so much I'll have some for sale probably LOL

FYI- I ordered a case of BAC water from AMSCO on 10/11. They sent me an email on 10/14 asking for my medical license. I didn't respond and the order is still sitting in open status, it has not shipped. It sounds like others were purely lucky who had their order shipped w/o providing a med license. Mine doesn't look like it's going to ship so I am going to request a refund.

I would recommend using another vendor going forward.

Another data point - ordered from AMSCO on 10/13 received email on 10/14 asking for medical license. Also not shipping and asking for a refund. Use another vendor.

Looks like I got some old stock with exp of Sept 2025. Somewhat tempted to stock up now but I wonder how long bac water actually is good for after expiration. Does freezing work?

that's a bummer. i ordered from them a couple of months ago and it showed up in two days no questions asked.

When I canceled with amsco they said sorry for the back order. It’s entirely possible all of you are in back order and they just haven’t told you

It’s literally all there in plain English. So I don’t know why you can’t grasp it

well, you replied to me so i assumed you were addressing what i said. and what you said to me made no sense.

why the hostility? out to make friends today?

I'm still hoping we might discuss end game here. Meaning if the diabetic supply companies get cracked down on, I would expect some of the other places (peppen, peptidetest etc) also will. It seems like a major weakness we have.

So assuming that happens in next 6 months to a year and assuming you ran out of BAC, what would you do? Is there a "2nd best" BAC we could use? Would you instead buy sterile water and add alcohol yourself?

Probably just buy 15mg kits. Sterile water. Single dose vials.

or mix up some bac water is an option.

No, they actually asked for a copy of my license. I agree, it seems silly since they don’t really have proof of who I am (though my email address, ordering address, credit card name, and license name are all the same so it seems likely that I’m real lol). So I sent a screenshot of my license verification from the state, and directed them to the state board where they could verify it.

Any update if they accepted your license?

Sounds like we are going to be organizing group buys and sending BAC off to be tested
In all seriousness, I assume we will have to get more comfortable with ordering the rest of this stuff from China too.

I won’t trust it until it lands at my house, but my rep said it will ship in a few days. They are currently still out of stock. I’ll update again when I know for sure!

I am leaning towards mixing my own if this gets any harder.

And I just got a notification it is shipped now and with FedEx. So it’s looking like my purchase went through.

Another data point for Medex. I ordered it on Friday from 8-11 after business hours. It arrived on my doorstep this morning with the November 2025 expiration date.

No license? Website says it's required.
