Ors Apple Drink

Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) powder (WHO ORS formulation): Glucose (anhydrous), Sodium chloride, Potassium chloride, Trisodium citrate dihydrate (strengths vary by sachet size)

Prevention and treatment of dehydration due to diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating/heat, and fluid loss; helps restore electrolytes

ORS provides glucose and electrolytes that enhance sodium and water absorption in the intestine via sodium-glucose co-transport. This helps rapidly replace lost fluids and salts and correct dehydration.

Dissolve the entire contents of the sachet in the specified quantity of clean drinking water as per pack instructions; stir well. Give small, frequent sips; can be taken with or without food. Use the prepared solution within 24 hours; do not add sugar or boil after reconstitution.

Nausea, abdominal discomfort, vomiting, bloating

Use only as directed for dilution—incorrect mixing can be harmful. Use caution in severe dehydration, shock, persistent vomiting, bloody diarrhea, high fever, or if symptoms persist >24 hours—seek medical care. Use with caution in kidney disease, heart failure, or patients on salt-restricted diets. Not a substitute for IV fluids in severe dehydration. Diabetics should use with medical advice due to glucose content.

No significant drug interactions when used as directed; separate from other oral medicines by ~1-2 hours if vomiting is present

Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep sachet tightly sealed until use. Store reconstituted solution in a clean covered container and use within 24 hours (preferably refrigerated).
