ORS Prolyte 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 chloride, potassium chloride, sodium citrate and anhydrous dextrose which are essential to maintain normal fluid balance in the body.

It hydrates the body and replenishes the lost electrolytes during conditions which involve excessive fluid loss like loose motions or vomiting. ORS helps manage dehydration and reduces the need for hospitalization.

Anhydrous dextrose or glucose is the primary ingredient of ORS. It facilitates the absorption of sodium and water in the small intestine. Sodium and potassium chloride are needed as replacements for these essential ions during diarrhoea and vomiting. Sodium citrate corrects the excess acid levels that occur because of diarrhoea.

Dissolve one teaspoon of ORS Prolyte Orange Flavour in 200ml (1 glass) of boiled and then cooled drinking water. Stir properly and then consume it. Use only the recommended dilutions and do not add extra water, as it may interfere with the dilutions. If any of the prepared solutions is left within 24 hours of reconstitution, discard it.

ORS Prolyte 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 intestinal obstruction.
