HCG (Can you use distilled water only)

Howzit

Guys I was chatting to a doctor yesterday who told me that Pregnyl is designed to be stable by using 0.9% sodium chloride and the rest distilled water.

Now we come along and only use distilled water, how stable is the solution?

Sabax water is 0.9% Sodium Chloride, so we are good.

Actually there different kinds:

SS xxxB = Sodium Chloride 0.9%
SW xxxB = Pure Sterile water

Ahh, thanks for clearing that up

You can make youre own bacteriostatic water using distilled water and benzyl alcohol-the ratio is 1:99 (1ml BA per 99ml distilled water)

It needs to be the perfect balance or it won't be stable. So unless that is the ratio described above I wouldn't chance it.

I always use my own bacteriostatic water for hcg and have never had a problem. The % doesn't have to be exact, same with gear sometimes they use 5% BA sometimes 2% depends on the lab-its just for sterility. I usually use 2% for bacteriostatic water.
50ml syringe with distilled water, draw 1ml BA in insulin pin. Pull plunger out, push the 1ml BA into 50ml syringe, 0.22 syringe filter and vial it.
