Reconstituting your vial
Reconstitution means adding the specified liquid to a vial before
measuring a calculated quantity. Use the product information and
advice supplied by an appropriately qualified professional. The
calculator does not determine how a product should be prepared or
used.
-
Prepare and clean
Work on a clean surface. Wipe the rubber stoppers on the vial
and bacteriostatic-water container with a suitable alcohol swab,
then allow them to dry.
-
Draw the specified water volume
Using appropriate sterile equipment, measure only the
bacteriostatic-water amount required by the applicable product
instructions.
-
Add water gently
Direct the water slowly down the inside wall of the vial rather
than forcefully onto the contents.
-
Mix without shaking
Gently roll or swirl the vial until the contents are dissolved.
Avoid vigorous shaking.
-
Follow storage instructions
Store and handle the prepared vial according to its product
information and professional guidance.
