West-ward Logo (Sterile Water For Injection Usp 1)
This is a warning label for a sterile water for injection solution that comes in a 10 mL single-dose vial. There are no microbes or other substances added to the solution, making it sterile and nonpyrogenic. However, it is not isotonic and may cause hemolysis. It should only be used as a drug diluent and should not be administered intravenously unless it is rendered nearly isotonic. The usual dosage should be seen in the insert, and the solution should be stored at room temperature and should not be frozen. The label also provides the name and location of the manufacturer.*
