Alkem Ors Powder

Overview Alkem Ors Powder

Alkem Ors Powder, formulated according to WHO guidelines, is an oral rehydration solution (ORS). This ORS blend contains dextrose and key electrolytes—sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and sodium citrate. It replenishes fluids and electrolytes depleted by dehydration resulting from diarrhea, vomiting, muscle spasms, or strenuous activity in hot, humid conditions. Crucially, adhere to the recommended water-to-powder ratio; insufficient water may exacerbate diarrhea.

Primary Ingredients of Alkem Ors Powder

• Common salt
• Potassium chloride (KCl)
• Anhydrous Dextrose
• Disodium sodium citrate dihydrate

Major Benefits of Alkem Ors Powder:

• Maintaining proper fluid levels within the body relies on sodium chloride. Body cells depend on sodium chloride for their regular operation.
• The electrolyte potassium plays a vital role in regulating fluid equilibrium and distribution, maintaining acid-base homeostasis, and supporting the proper function of muscles, nerves, the heart, kidneys, and adrenal glands.
• Anhydrous dextrose, also known as glucose, is a refined form of this simple sugar. It offers immediate energy and serves as the main component in oral rehydration solutions.
• Citric acid's tribasic salt, trisodium citrate dihydrate, results from the complete neutralization of citric acid using a high-purity sodium source, followed by crystallization.

How to Use Alkem Ors Powder:

Completely dissolve the sachet's contents in the specified quantity of potable water (as indicated on the sachet, usually one litre). If potable water is unavailable or its purity is questionable, boil the water for a minimum of ten minutes, then allow it to cool completely before using. Ensure thorough mixing and administer the solution to the child via cup or spoon.

Safety Instruction of Alkem Ors Powder:

• Always check the product label before administration.
• Store where children cannot access.
• Adhere to the prescribed dosage.
• Keep in a cool, dry location, protected from direct sunlight.
