What are the effects of Bacteriostatic Sodium Chloride (Saline) if left in the heat for an extended period of time?

I would not recommend using the saline if it has not been stored according to manufacturers directions. Best to adhere to the highest safety standards.

I would only use a dilutent that was stored according to a company's recommendations.  Since Botox dilution is governed by an exact science I see no reason to take any chances.  Best, Dr. Green

Agree with the above answer.  Why take a chance?  Just use a new vial of bacteriostatic saline.  Although in reality, I don't think it would affect it

Whenever there is a question of safety with elective aesthetic procedures, my answer is "why take the risk?"  Bacteriostatic saline is relatively inexpensive. You would have to consult with the manufacturer to discuss their testing of the product. However, the last thing I would want for any of my patients is to have a complication like an infection when it was entirely preventable.
