WATER FOR INJECTION should be administered after being made isotonic (same salt concentration as cells and blood) by adding an appropriate solute to prevent any haemolysis (breakdown of red blood cells). Water for Injection may sometimes contain aluminium, which may alter kidney function. Hence, care should be taken accordingly. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult the doctor before starting WATER FOR INJECTION.
