✔️ How ORSaline-N works?

Sodium chloride, potassium chloride, dextrose, and sodium citrate are the four medications that makeup DEXTROSE+POTASSIUM CHLORIDE+SODIUM CHLORIDE+SODIUM CITRATE. For the treatment or prevention of dehydration, DEXTROSE+POTASSIUM CHLORIDE+SODIUM CHLORIDE+SODIUM CITRATE is utilized. (too much loss of body water). It's listed as a source of calories, water, and electrolytes. Replace the fluids and minerals lost as a result of vomiting or diarrhea with DEXTROSE+POTASSIUM CHLORIDE+SODIUM CHLORIDE+SODIUM CITRATE. thus aids in the treatment and prevention of dehydration.

✔️ Side Effect of ORSaline-N

• Nausea
• Vomiting

✔️ Quick Suggestions:

• It helps manage dehydration and boosts energy levels in the body
• It provides relief from tiredness, fatigue, and weakness
• Restores the body’s fluids and minerals
• Regularly drink fluids to prevent dehydration.
• If you are unable to drink large volumes of fluids, try drinking small sips frequently.
• The powder helps replenish water and essential electrolytes
• The formulation helps in reducing stool output and vomiting
• It is suitable for all age groups and all types of diarrhea

✔️ Indications

Oral Rehydration Salt is indicated in Diarrhea (treatment) and Electrolyte depletion (prophylaxis and treatment)

✔️ Pharmacology

Oral rehydration salts are given orally to prevent or treat dehydration due to acute diarrhea. Essential water and salts are lost in stools and vomiting, and dehydration results when blood volume is decreased because of fluid loss from the extracellular fluid compartment. Preservation of the facilitated glucose-sodium co-transport system in the small-bowel mucosa is the rationale of oral rehydration therapy. Glucose is actively absorbed in the normal intestine and carries sodium with it in about an equimolar ratio. Therefore, there is a greater net absorption of an isotonic salt solution with glucose than one without it.

Potassium replacement during acute diarrhea prevents below-normal serum concentrations of potassium, especially in children, in whom stool potassium losses are higher than in adults. Bicarbonates are effective in correcting the metabolic acidosis caused by diarrhea and dehydration.

✔️ Dosage & Administration

Children less than 2 years: After each loose stool or vomiting 10 to 20 spoonfuls (50-100 ml).

Children 2 to 10 years: After each loose stool or vomiting 100-200 ml of prepared oral saline.

Adults and children above 10 years: After each loose stool or vomiting 200-400 ml of prepared saline.

✔️ Precautions & Warnings

Depressed renal function, severe continuing diarrhea, or other critical fluid losses may need supplementation with parenteral fluids along with oral saline. Solutions containing acetate or gluconate ions should be used with caution, as excess administration may result in metabolic alkalosis. Solutions containing dextrose should be used with caution in patients with known subclinical or overt diabetes mellitus.

✔️ Storage Conditions

Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight. Keep out of reach of children
