It regulates water and salt, electrolytes and acid-base balance. Reduced Osmolarity Oral Salt is used for the prevention and treatment of dehydration due to diarrhea, including maintenance therapy by supplying salt water for the body. It is also used for rehydration of patients with burns. The advan...
It reduces the need for unscheduled IV therapy by >30%.
Depending upon age and severity of dehydration,
Infants and Children: 1 - 2 liters (5 - 10 glasses) over a period of 24 hours.
Adults: 2 - 4 liters (10 - 20 glasses) over a period of 24 hours. Continuous treatment until diarrhea stops or dehydration is corrected.
Direction for use: Simply dissolve the contents of 1 sachet in 1 liter of drinking water, stir well and drink the prepared solution within 24 hours. Discard any unused portion. Do not boil the solution.
Each Sachet contains:
Sodium Chloride B.P ............. 2.6 g
Potassium Chloride B.P ........ 1.5 g
Sodium Citrate B.P ............... 2.9 g
Dextrose Anhydrous B.P ..... 13.5 g.
It is a solution of glucose-based salt solution used in oral rehydration therapy.
Oral rehydration therapy is the giving of fluid by mouth to prevent and/or correct the dehydration that is a result of diarrhea. As soon as diarrhea begins, the child must be given oral rehydration therapy. Oral rehydration therapy alone is an effective treatment for 90 - 95% patients suffering from...
Dextrose: After oral administration glucose is completely absorbed by a sodium dependent uptake mechanism exhibiting saturation kinetics. Blood levels return to normal within two hours of ingestion.
Potassium Chloride: No specific control mechanisms limit absorption of potassium, which is usually complete. Potassium is excreted largely by the kidneys, though 10% is excreted by the colonic mucosa. Potassium excretion is reduced in patients with renal impairment and in the elderly, so extreme cau...
Sodium Chloride: Readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Gut absorption, particularly in the jejunum is enhanced by the addition of glucose. Under conditions of sodium balance, the excretion of sodium in the urine will match intake.
ORT (Oral Rehydration Therapy) should be discontinued and fluids replaced intravenously when vomiting is protracted despite proper administration of ORT, signs of dehydration worsen despite giving ORT, the person is unable to drink due to a decreased level of consciousness, or there is evidence of i...
