Superamp Sterile Water for Injection is a clear, colorless, and non-pyrogenic fluid used exclusively as a vehicle to dilute or dissolve compatible medications. It contains no bacteriostatic agents, antimicrobials, or added buffers, making it a single-dose preparation.
Critical Safety Warning
Never inject sterile water directly into a vein without adding medicine first. Pure sterile water is highly hypotonic. If administered intravenously by itself, it causes fluid to rush into your blood cells, causing them to burst open (hemolysis), which can lead to life-threatening complications.
