Uses & Benefits
Prevention and treatment of dehydration due to diarrhea, vomiting, heat exhaustion, excessive sweating; fluid and electrolyte replacement
How It Works
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.
Directions for Use
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.
Side Effects
Nausea, vomiting, abdominal bloating (usually if taken too fast)
Warnings & Precautions
Seek medical help if severe dehydration, persistent vomiting, blood in stool, high fever, very little urine, lethargy, or diarrhea in infants/elderly. Use caution in severe kidney disease or heart failure where fluid/salt intake is restricted. Do not prepare with milk, juice, or carbonated drinks.
