Uses & Benefits
Prevention and treatment of dehydration due to diarrhoea, vomiting, excessive sweating/heat, mild fluid and electrolyte loss; supportive rehydration during illness
How It Works
ORS provides an optimal balance of glucose and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride/citrate) to enhance water absorption in the intestine via sodium-glucose co-transport. This helps restore body fluids and electrolyte balance and reduces dehydration symptoms.
Directions for Use
Ready-to-drink oral rehydration beverage. Shake well before use. Sip frequently in small amounts; can be taken with or without food. Use as advised by a doctor, especially for children/elderly; continue feeding/breastfeeding where applicable. Discard if appearance/odour changes; once opened, preferably consume within the same day.
Side Effects
Nausea, abdominal bloating, vomiting (if taken too quickly), mild stomach discomfort
Warnings & Precautions
Seek medical help urgently if severe dehydration, persistent vomiting, blood in stools, high fever, inability to drink, very low urine output, lethargy/confusion. Use with caution in kidney disease, heart failure, uncontrolled diabetes (due to glucose content), or on sodium/potassium-restricted diets. Do not use as the sole fluid source in severe dehydration—may require IV fluids. Not intended to be diluted unless label instructs.
