Indication/Uses:

Sterile Water for Injection, provided in 10ml ampoules by Grand Pharma, is a sterile, non-pyrogenic water used primarily as a diluent or vehicle in various medical applications. Here are the main indications and uses:

1. Dilution of Medications:

   • Preparation of Injectable Solutions: Used to dilute or dissolve medications before administration via intravenous (IV) injection or infusion. This helps to ensure proper dosing and avoid concentrated solutions that could cause irritation.

2. Injection and Infusion:

   • Vehicle for Medications: Acts as a carrier fluid for medications that need to be administered via injection or infusion, ensuring the medication is delivered effectively into the body.

3. Hydration:

   • Hydration and Fluid Replacement: Although not typically used alone for significant fluid replacement, it can be used in combination with other fluids to maintain or adjust hydration levels in clinical settings.

4. Wound and Irrigation:

   • Irrigation: Sometimes used for irrigating wounds or body cavities, although saline solutions are more commonly used for this purpose.

Mechanism of Action:

• Isotonic and Non-Pyrogenic: Sterile water for injection is isotonic with respect to the body’s fluids, making it safe for use in injections and infusions. It is also free from contaminants and pyrogens (substances that can cause fever).

Dosage and Administration:

• Volume: The 10ml ampoules are typically used in precise volumes depending on the needs of the medication being diluted or the procedure being performed.
• Administration: Should be used as per the specific requirements of the medication or treatment protocol. It is important to ensure sterility and avoid contamination when preparing injectable solutions.
