Oral Rehydration Solution

for Gastroenteritis

ORS is the most important treatment for gastroenteritis to prevent dehydration. Available as Hydralyte or Gastrolyte sachets.

How it works

Glucose-sodium co-transport maximises fluid and electrolyte absorption even during active diarrhoea and vomiting.

What to watch for

Sip slowly if vomiting. Do not use sports drinks as a substitute. Make fresh if using sachets.
