Everything we sell contains the same two ingredients to the same USP monograph. What this vial adds is the name on the label. Hospira is the Pfizer-owned manufacturer whose bacteriostatic water has been standard stock in US clinical settings for decades, and some researchers want that pedigree on the vial rather than a house label. This is that option: not a different formula, a different provenance.
If provenance is not the deciding factor for you, our house 30ml reconstitution solution is the same formulation at a lower price.
What Hospira Manufacture Means
The vial is produced under full US pharmaceutical GMP within Pfizer’s manufacturing network, carries the Bacteriostatic Water for Injection USP designation on the label, and reaches us through the pharma supply chain sealed. Every unit we ship is genuine Hospira stock; lot numbers are printed on the vial and we provide lot paperwork on request so you can verify what you received.
Counterfeit and diverted pharma packaging does circulate on marketplaces, and brand names attract fakes precisely because the label carries trust. Buy Hospira from suppliers who will document it.
The Formula and the Window
Sterile water for injection preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The preservative inhibits bacterial multiplication inside the vial between draws, which is what makes 30ml of water a multi-dose product with a 28-day use window after first puncture rather than a single-use ampoule. Refrigerate at 2 to 8C once opened, swab the stopper before each draw, use a fresh sterile syringe every time, and date the vial when you open it. Unopened, store at controlled room temperature away from light through the printed expiry.
Sealed Supply, No Restocks
Sterile goods sold here are never accepted back, never restocked, never resold. Your Hospira vial travels from pharma distribution to our warehouse to you with the seal intact the whole way. Arrives damaged? Report within 5 days with a photo for a full refund or replacement, normally without returning anything.

FAQ
Is Hospira different from your house reconstitution solution?
Same formula, size & same use window. The difference is the manufacturer: this is pharma-brand Hospira stock with Pfizer manufacture behind it, priced accordingly. Choose on provenance preference, not performance.
How do I know it is genuine Hospira?
The lot number printed on your vial can be checked against the lot paperwork we supply on request, and the vial, cap and label match Hospira’s published trade dress. If anything about a unit looks off, contact us before opening it.
Why does the label say bacteriostatic water instead of reconstitution solution?
Bacteriostatic Water for Injection USP is the compositional, regulated name for this exact formula. Reconstitution solution describes what it is used for. One product, two names, and on a pharma label you get the regulated one.
