INTRODUCTION ABOUT OLYTE ORS LIQUID
OLYTE ORS Orange Flavour belongs to oral rehydration salts (ORS) which is used to replenish water and essential electrolytes. It is also used to decrease stool output and vomiting. It contains electrolytes like sodium, potassium, chloride, citrate and dextrose which are essential to maintain normal fluid balance in the body.
It hydrates the body and replenishes the lost electrolytes during conditions which involves excessive fluid loss like loose motions or vomiting. ORS helps manage dehydration and reduces the need for hospitalization.
Dextrose or glucose is the primary ingredient of ORS. It facilitates the absorption of sodium and water in the small intestine. Sodium and potassium are needed as replacement of these essential ions during diarrhoea and vomiting. Citrate corrects the excess acid levels that occurs because of diarrhoea.
