Medley Pharmaceuticals ORS Powder

Overview Medley Pharmaceuticals ORS Powder

WHO-recommended Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) powder utilizes a formulation combining dextrose with key electrolytes—sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and trisodium citrate dihydrate. This blend replenishes fluids and electrolytes depleted by dehydration stemming from diarrhea, vomiting, muscle spasms, or strenuous activity in hot, humid conditions. Sodium chloride maintains fluid balance and supports cellular function. Potassium chloride is crucial for fluid regulation, acid-base equilibrium, and proper muscle, nerve, heart, kidney, and adrenal function. Dextrose anhydrous, the purest form of glucose, provides rapid energy and serves as the primary ORS component. Trisodium citrate dihydrate, a citric acid salt, ensures optimal electrolyte balance. Instructions: Mix one packet's contents with the specified amount of potable water (boil for 10 minutes if purity is uncertain). Stir thoroughly and administer via cup or spoon. Caution: Maintain the correct water-to-powder ratio; insufficient water may worsen diarrhea. Use only under a healthcare professional's guidance.
