Uses & Benefits
Prevention and treatment of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance due to acute diarrhoea, vomiting, heat exhaustion, excessive sweating; supportive care in mild to moderate dehydration
How It Works
ORS provides a balanced mix of glucose and electrolytes that enhances sodium and water absorption from the intestine via glucose-sodium co-transport. This helps restore body fluids and correct electrolyte loss during dehydration.
Directions for Use
Oral solution. Shake well if applicable. Give small frequent sips; for children, use a spoon/cup and continue feeding/breastfeeding. Dose depends on age/weight and degree of dehydration; use as advised by a doctor. If vomiting occurs, pause 5–10 minutes and restart slowly. Discard if contaminated; follow label guidance for use after opening.
Seek medical help if severe dehydration, blood in stool, persistent vomiting, high fever, very low urine output, lethargy, or symptoms last >24 hours (children) or >48 hours (adults). Use with caution in kidney disease, heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, or patients on sodium/potassium restricted diets. Do not use as sole treatment for severe dehydration—may require IV fluids. Not for mixing with soft drinks/juice if meant to be used as-is; follow label instructions.
Drug Interactions
Potassium-sparing diuretics (e.g., spironolactone, amiloride), ACE inhibitors/ARBs (risk of high potassium in susceptible patients), NSAIDs (may worsen kidney function in dehydration)
Storage Instructions
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze. Keep container tightly closed; once opened, keep hygienically and use within label-recommended period.
