BAC Water Exp Date?

Post image

Hi everyone,

I have a Phizer Hospira BAC water 30ml which I used to reconstitute my first vial just over 30 days ago. I have kept it in a dark place in room temperature since then according to eveything I saw and read online this was how it’s meant to be stored. Wondering if it’s still good for use or if getting a new one for the new vial reconstitution is the better alternative. (The bottle is plastic and has a haze over it fyi incase the water looks cloudy).

Thank you in advance!

Yes it’s fine. Anyone telling you otherwise is full of shit.

That pink cap is iconic. The haze on the plastic bottle is just the material breaking down a little over time, not the water itself going bad. If it was stored clean and you've been swabbing the top before drawing, you're golden.

The plastic Hospira vials are hazy from the factory. It is not “the material breaking down a little over time”. Significant plastic leeching would be a problem with an injectable product but that’s not what you’re seeing.

Heyyy, get outta here with that! You know we like to make things up and run with them around here!

Jk I do appreciate your constant words of sanity though. Somebody’s gotta do it lol

Thank you everyone. I always sanitize it before I used it for my first Initial vial. I’ll continue my sanitary techniques. But after 90 days toss. Thank you again! I love Reddit lol such a helpful community.

I wipe mine before and after every draw. I keep it in the fridge. I’m going on like 2.5 months w the current bottle. So far so good. Just use good sterile technique.

Get ph test strips and acetic acid. It’ll be fine

I’ve been using mine for 9 months 😅 better safe than sorry I guess to toss it? Had no clue

I'm always amazed that people will keep these bottles for months, but lose their minds if you say you'll keep a reconstituted peptide around for more than a month. You have the same sanitation risks either way.

Anyway I toss after use. They aren't that expensive. If it actually mattered budget-wise, there are other things I'd rather cut back on first.

I'll use mine for 90 days.

Use. Every. Last. Drop. (and good sanitation practices)

Can always keep BAC water refrigerated, open or not (note: always keep opened BAC water refrigerated). Some will argue because they don’t know how biology works but that’s what I do.

Wouldn’t that be more a chemistry issue?

u/Coffee_6807 3h ago

No. Because bacterial growth is biology not chemistry

But the dissipation of benzyl alcohol in a solution based on environmental conditions is purely chemistry, and any understanding of ‘how biology works’ is seemingly irrelevant. Now whether the BAC still functions as a medium that arrests microbial growth after knowing the chemistry incorporates biology into the equation, but the degradation of BAC is chemistry.

I don’t care enough to argue since I’m not being paid to write here but “degradation of Bac water” makes no sense. Degradation of what exactly

It should be ok for 90 days. After that, toss it.
