INTRODUCTION ABOUT KNOLL's ORS REFRESHING ORANGE FLAVOUR SACHET
Knoll’s ORS Orange Flavour belongs to oral rehydration salts (ORS) which are used to replenish water and essential electrolytes. It is also used to reduce stool output and vomiting. It contains electrolytes like sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium citrate and dextrose which are important to maintaining normal fluid balance in the body.
It hydrates the body and restores the lost electrolytes during conditions which involve too much fluid loss like loose motions or vomiting. ORS helps to manage dehydration and lowers the need for hospitalization.
Dextrose or glucose is the main ingredient of ORS that eases the absorption of sodium and water in the small intestine. Sodium and potassium are required as substitutions of these essential ions during diarrhoea and vomiting. Citrate rectifies the excess acid levels that occur because of diarrhoea.
Dissolve the entire content of Knoll’s ORS Orange Flavour in 1 litre of boiled and then cooled drinking water. Stir properly and then consume it. Consume only the recommended dilutions and do not add extra water, as it may interfere with the dilutions. Do not consume the solution if any of it is left after 24 hours of reconstitution.
Knoll’s ORS Orange Flavour can be combined with other parenteral fluids if you experience prolonged diarrhoea or other forms of severe fluid loss. It should be used with caution in patients having impaired kidney function or bowel obstruction.
