What is Purified water?

It is water free from ions through different processes of de- ionization such as Reverse Osmosis

Why we need to use purified water?

To reduce the intake of elements and salts and not overload the baby’s body with these elements :

• Purified water is free of sodium which reduces the risk of high blood pressure in the future
• It is free from hazardous elements such as nitrates and micro-organisms which could carry different risks on the baby’s health
• Purified water enhances the dissolved drug’s pharmacokinetics (Elimination – Metabolism -Distribution – Absorption)
• As the purified water is free from different elements it prevents the precipitation of the dissolved drug’s and so its uni-dose is preserved
• Boiling tap water is not effective as boiling only is not enough to remove different ions and micro-organisms and if hot water is added to the antibiotic powder it will lead to the breaking of the chemical bonds of the drug and the antibiotic will be ineffective.
• Mineral water is not effective as well as it contains high percentage of elements and minerals.
