Bacteriostatic Sterile Water VS Bacteriostatic Water for HCG and filtering

Do I need Bacteriostatic Sterile Water or do I just buy the Bacteriostatic Water? I assume most buy the Bacteriostatic Water and filter it in with HCG mix to make it sterile? Also wondering how to transfer the HCG and if you have to filter it into the new vial. Thanks
 
Not sure if I am allowed to post this but these are the 2 links I cant figure out on...

AFAIK, all bacteriostatic water you buy is sterile. I suppose they can sell it otherwise, but what is the point? That would be like buying already opened food jars.

EDIT: Your second link is Sodium Chloride. Choose the Bacteriostatic Sterile Water USP, 30ml. Also, you are not allowed to put links to non-sponsors, so please remove them. You can keep the descriptions. :)

I was just confused that it said "sterile water used only to dissolve or dilute drugs prior to injection" which I assume means within 30 days.. Thanks for the heads up, links deleted
 
One more question, with that bac water, I don't need to filter right? Just add to the sterile empty vial with the mix? The HCG comes in amps so they will be exposed to air while mixing before transferred...
 
Can someone confirm what bac water to buy?
