I purchased what I thought was Hospira BAC from InjectionShop. What arrived was labeled Bacteriostatic 0.9% Sodium Chloride. Label does say distributed by Hospira, Inc but does look different then the Bacteriostatic Water label with the red/pinkish color block (which also indicates 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol.

Did I order wrong? Can I still use it with Reta? Should I look elsewhere for the Hospira BAC with reddish pink label. I’m new to all this and want to start out on the right path. I’d appreciate any and all advice on this

Thanks 😎
 
I don't think it does well with Reta. Here's a thread from last year:

Just wanted to show my recent experience with reconstitution with Hospira Bacteriostatic water and 0.9% NaCl Saline/sodium chloride.

These were both mixed the same lot and manufacturer of Retatrutide.

Sodium Chloride is often used to dilute medications but it appears to have participated out the Retatrutide. Mixed perfectly and no issues with Bacteriostatic water.

They have both on their site, but they don't show the labels to avoid problems with the credit card processors.

If you ordered normal bac water and they sent you saline bac water instead you should get in touch to request a replacement. If you ordered the saline bac water by mistake then I don't know what to tell you other than many people have mentioned saline bac and reta not being the best of friends so it might be too much hassle to return or exchange, but you can always save it for future peptide research.

Yup, my mistake. I went ahead and ordered some of the normal bac water and will just hang onto the saline one for possible use later

Live and learn😎

Thanks

Mind defining “everything else”? 👀
