- 1mL bacteriostatic water (200mg/mL)
- 0.9% benzyl alcohol
- 28 days refrigerated
- Low. Benzyl alcohol inhibits bacterial growth
- High. Small volume allows precise fractional dosing
- Preferred for most users: maximum potency with extended shelf life and minimal injection volume
- 2mL bacteriostatic water (100mg/mL)
- Low
- Moderate. Larger volume makes fractional doses easier to measure but increases injection volume
- Best for protocols requiring doses below 100mg or for users who struggle with small syringe measurements
- 1mL sterile water
- No preservative
- 24 hours refrigerated
- High. No antimicrobial agent present
- High
- Only viable if entire vial will be used within 24 hours; impractical for multi-dose protocols
- Sodium chloride 0.9%
- Saline solution
- Variable. Depends on preservative presence
- Moderate to high
- Moderate
- Not recommended: isotonicity doesn't compensate for lack of antimicrobial preservation in multi-dose vials
