reconstitution with sterile water is good it avoids the contamination of the medicine through unsteriled water you can use boiled and cooled water also

Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,
You should use distilled water for reconstitution of the specific drug.
It is important to use as it is necessary for proper dose and stability of the drug.
There is mark on the bottle to fill pure distilled water up to that level and then shake it to make even solution.
Simple water is not safe for this purpose.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
