Prevention and treatment of dehydration due to diarrhea, vomiting, heat exhaustion, excessive sweating; fluid and electrolyte replacement
ORS provides an optimal balance of glucose and electrolytes to enhance sodium and water absorption via intestinal glucose-sodium co-transport. This restores hydration and corrects electrolyte loss during diarrhea or vomiting.
Dissolve the entire sachet in the specified amount of clean drinking water as per pack (commonly 200 ml or 1 L depending on sachet size). Stir until fully dissolved; do not add sugar or salt. Sip frequently; use within 24 hours (discard leftover). Continue feeding/breastfeeding.
