How it works
Replaces fluids and electrolytes lost through diarrhoea. The glucose-sodium cotransport mechanism in the gut remains functional even during diarrhoea, allowing rapid rehydration.
The most important intervention for any diarrhoea — dehydration is the main danger, particularly in children and elderly. Seek medical attention if unable to keep fluids down, if there is blood in stools, or if symptoms persist beyond 3 days.
ORS is one of the most evidence-supported interventions in global health. WHO and UNICEF recommend it as the cornerstone of diarrhoea management worldwide. Has saved millions of lives.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
