Overview
Distributor inventory | Powder
Uses & Benefits
Prevention and treatment of dehydration due to acute diarrhoea, vomiting, excessive sweating, heat/exertion; fluid and electrolyte replacement
How It Works
ORS provides an optimal balance of glucose and electrolytes to enhance sodium and water absorption from the intestine via glucose-sodium co-transport. This restores body fluids and corrects electrolyte imbalance caused by dehydration.
Directions for Use
Dissolve the entire 21.8 g sachet in the specified quantity of clean drinking water (typically 1 litre; follow pack instructions). Stir well and use within 24 hours; do not boil after mixing. Give small frequent sips; in children, continue breastfeeding/normal feeds. Do not mix with दूध/juice/soft drinks and do not add extra sugar or salt.
Side Effects
Nausea, abdominal bloating, vomiting (if taken too quickly), transient stomach discomfort
Warnings & Precautions
Use correct dilution as per label—over-concentrated ORS can be harmful. Seek medical care urgently if severe dehydration, persistent vomiting, blood in stool, high fever, very low urine output, lethargy, or no improvement. Use with caution in severe kidney disease, heart failure, or patients on sodium/potassium-restricted diets; diabetics should monitor glucose intake. Not for IV rehydration.
Drug Interactions
No major drug interactions when used as directed; separate from other oral medicines by ~1-2 hours if vomiting/diarrhoea may affect absorption. Caution with potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors/ARBs in kidney disease (risk of hyperkalaemia).
