TTK Healthcare ORS Powder

Overview TTK Healthcare ORS Powder

WHO-endorsed Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) powder utilizes a formulation blending dextrose with key electrolytes – sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and sodium citrate. This powder replenishes fluids and electrolytes depleted by dehydration resulting from diarrhea, vomiting, muscle spasms, or strenuous activity in hot, humid conditions. Key ingredient roles: Sodium chloride maintains crucial fluid balance and supports cellular function. Potassium chloride is vital for hydration, acid-base equilibrium, and the proper functioning of muscles, nerves, the heart, kidneys, and adrenal glands. Dextrose anhydrous, pure glucose, offers rapid energy and is the primary component of ORS. Trisodium citrate dihydrate, a citric acid salt, is created by completely neutralizing citric acid with high-purity sodium and crystallizing. Usage: 1. Mix the packet contents with the specified amount of potable water (typically 1 liter). 2. If water purity is questionable, boil for at least 10 minutes and cool. 3. Stir thoroughly and administer via cup or spoon. Caution: Maintain the correct water-to-powder ratio; insufficient water may exacerbate diarrhea. Always use under professional medical guidance.
