An ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution) Sachet (typically 21g to 21.8g) is a WHO-recommended formulation used to replenish fluids and essential electrolytes (salts) lost during dehydration. It is a powdered mixture, often orange-flavored, designed to be dissolved in water to treat dehydration caused by conditions such as diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, or heat exhaustion.
- Sodium Chloride (Salt): Replaces lost sodium and helps the body retain water.
- Dextrose Anhydrous (Sugar): Provides immediate energy and facilitates the absorption of water and electrolytes in the intestine.
- Potassium Chloride: Replaces potassium lost during diarrhea/vomiting, supporting muscle and nerve function.
- Treatment of Dehydration: Reverses excessive loss of body water.
- Diarrhea & Vomiting: Replaces water and salts lost during acute diarrhea or vomiting episodes.
- Heat Exhaustion/Stroke: Restores fluids lost through heavy sweating in hot, humid weather.
- Recovery from Physical Activity: Replenishes electrolytes after intense exercise.
- Weakness & Fatigue: Combats fatigue associated with fluid loss.
