Plain hydrocortisone 100 mg vial reconstitution

I was wondering if what diluent everyone uses to reconstitute plain hydrocortisone vial . The Pfizer package insert and also their Medical Information confirmed to use bacteriostatic water or bacteriostatic sodium chloride only and they do not have recommendations/data to use SWFI or NS to reconstitute. I was wondering if anyone can share what they are doing? Are you utilizing SWFI to reconstitute the plain vial? And if so, do you have any data to support? Thanks in advance!
