    Bacteriostatic sodium chloride vs bacteriostatic water

    Greetings bredren

    Is there a difference between the two items mentioned in the title? Some hCG i get recommends bacteriostatic water for reconstitution, and other brands come with a vial that says bacteriostatic sodium chloride on it. Is there a difference, or is it just two names for the same thing?

    If they are different, which one is better to use for reconstituting a vial of hCG?

    Like bio said above, the sodium chloride water is for one injection, so it would be bacteriostatic water you want for your HCG as it is for multiple injections.

    Bacteriostatic water (Bac water) contains benzyl alcohol, it stops the formation of bacteria ect.

    Two names for the same thing. Only sterile saline (also called 'Normal Saline') is used for injections. There are preserved and non-preserved varieties. The term 'bacteriostatic' indicated that it has a preservative in addition to being normal saline.

    So the stuff that comes with Val's hCG is for one time use only? Why make sodium chloride water bacteriostatic if you are supposed to use it immediately?

    I can’t figure it out from google if it’s supposed to be the same together. I thought it was either / or.
