Water for injection is water of extra high quality without significant contamination. A sterile version is used for making solutions that will be given by injection. Before such use other substances generally must be added to make the solution more or less isotonic. It can be given by injection into a vein, muscle, or under the skin. A non-sterile version may be used in manufacturing with sterilization occurring later in the production process.

Application
As described above, WFI is a form of sterile water used to deliver medications or drugs to patients intravenously. In addition to making solutions, it also is used as a cleaning agent. Because of its extensively purified nature, it is utilized to cleanse anything that will come into contact with the drug.
