Intas Pharmaceuticals ORS Powder

Overview Intas Pharmaceuticals ORS Powder

WHO-endorsed Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) powder employs a formulation combining dextrose with crucial electrolytes: sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and sodium citrate. This powder replenishes fluids and electrolytes depleted by dehydration stemming from diarrhea, vomiting, muscle spasms, or strenuous activity in hot, humid conditions. Key ingredient roles: Sodium chloride maintains fluid equilibrium and supports cellular function. Potassium chloride is vital for water balance, acid-base regulation, and optimal muscle, nerve, heart, kidney, and adrenal gland performance. Dextrose anhydrous, pure glucose, offers rapid energy and forms the primary ORS component. Trisodium citrate dihydrate, a citric acid salt, results from citric acid's complete neutralization with high-purity sodium. Directions: Dissolve one packet in the specified water volume (typically one liter). If water purity is uncertain, boil for at least ten minutes before cooling. Stir thoroughly and administer via cup or spoon. Crucially, maintain the correct water-to-powder ratio; insufficient water may exacerbate diarrhea. Use under professional medical guidance.
