Axa Aqua Sterile Water for Injection - 10ml Ampoule
Many high-potency parenteral medications (such as powdered IV antibiotics like Ceftriaxone or Artesunate) are distributed as dry powders to maintain chemical stability. Reconstituting them requires an ultra-pure, non-pyrogenic solvent to avoid inducing septic shock. Axa Aqua Water for Injection is a sterile, double-distilled, non-pyrogenic fluid. Packaged in a sealed 10ml plastic ampoule, it ensures safe, sterile dilution of parenteral drugs in operating rooms and ward settings across Tanzania.
How to Use / Operate
For clinical use by trained medical staff. Snap open the top of the plastic ampoule. Draw out the required volume using a sterile syringe and needle, then inject into the vial containing the powdered drug. Shake vial until completely dissolved before patient administration.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Water for Injection used for?
It is a sterile solvent used exclusively by healthcare providers to dissolve and dilute powdered medications for IV or IM injection.
Is it safe to drink or inject directly?
No. Sterile water is hypotonic and must NEVER be injected directly into a vein without being mixed with an isotonic drug or saline, as plain water causes red blood cells to burst (hemolysis).
Important Clinical Considerations
Single-use container; contains no antimicrobial preservatives. Any unused fluid left in the ampoule after opening must be discarded immediately. Do not use if the liquid is cloudy or the ampoule is cracked.
