Can I use Sterile Water for Injection water?
Hello All,
I tried searching but results about distilled water. Is it ok to use Sterile Water for Injection water?. Someone gave me a bunch of this water in a bottle. I tried looking to see the mineral content in Sterile water for Injection. I will be using sodium phytate in formula. Thank you very much. -

I do my best to read and understand your need without bias because it is normal for people to be experimental or to DIY (for various personal reasons). However, I am very sure that this is a topic that people on this site will not answer. Those who answer could very likely be Indigo Children, they may even tell you how to make their secret sauce to inject in order to kill COVID!
Perhaps…maybe…probably… …You could cunningly rephrase what you want to achieve in a new post. :p

Thank you. I’ve decided to just stick with distilled. It is not very clear if the Sterile Water for Irrigation has minerals or not. Plus the term sterile water means different things to different people. Thank you

You are welcome. o:)
Now that is odd. Why not ask that someone who gave you a bunch of the water for data?
That someone does not know then ask that someone for the source.
Or else pray hard. LOL!

Lol. That person got it free for her child that gets fed through a g-tube. I tried to edit the title. It is called Sterile Water for Irrigation, (not injection).

Sterile water for irrigation may well contain a small percentage of table salt (NaCl) which is worth bearing in mind if you use it for fun trials/formulations.
I think there’s only a handful of manufacturers of sterile water for irrigation. The one that springs to mind first is Baxter, but that’s just me spouting useless info. -
Sterile water for irrigation is distilled water(medical grade) - hypotonic, you can pretty much use it since you already have it. I use it sometimes when I’m DIYing at home.
Normal saline solution is 0.9% NaCl solution - isotonic, can’t be used in formulation. -

@Benz3ne Nothing to apologies for, I believe Perry started this site for sharing information and such, I too learned a lot from people with great knowledge and expertise in this community.

Thank you all for your responses. I was not getting notifications. Appreciate it.

Ah ha! I thought I am the only one not getting notifications! I have to keep tabs open and keep checking for answers. This is certainly inefficient!Maybe notification works only if people tag names. This is bad if it is true because we, the non-experts, miss lots of good stuff. And those who answer may think that we are not serious hit(ask)-and-run.

Agreed. For example, I did not get a notification for your last comment. I just happened to check my recent discussions:)
